Peacock UV Comet

Post by Roadkill » Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:00 pm

I recently found some UV responsive Trilobal Nylon, so I had to tie up a hot Steelhead fly to try this out...

Hook- Mustad 36890 #2
Thread- UTC 140 FL FIRE ORANGE
Tail- Clear Trilobal Nylon
Body- Peacock Black Ice Dub tied in 4 segments. Peacock Dubbing at the tail followed by a UV Yellow TLN collar tied in a dubbing loop, dubbing & Hot Orange UV TLN collar, dubbing & a Guinea Hen Hackle topped by Hot Pink UV TLN collar.

A little sunshine should light up this comet. ;) It should also be a hit blending this fiber in some fur dubbing.

This looks like every girl I went out with in high school. Add in the requisite Boone's Farm...

There should be no reason for this fly not to catch a fish.
The second I saw it I was thinking pike and musky.
