Hans,
I like the deep red showing through. Gives the fly lots of character.

From reading it again it looks as if the ribbon and peacock are twisted into a cord.

Stefan,

Not in this pattern, but yes I do at times - both touch-dub peacock and standard peacock dubbing into a 'noodle'. No joke, just a useful technique, especially when tying #30 Klinkhamer Specials :twisted:

Houston - we've got a problem. I don't know if I'm mis-understood twice, or if I'm not understood at all. Over.

Edit. I like your little devil, Hans. It suits you!
