A reasonable bunch of natural green peacock herl.
An absolute must for every tyer.
So many patterns call for this marvellous herl.
Black & Peacock Spider, Stick Fly, Coch-y-Bonddu, Coachman, Buzzer Nymph, and the indispensible Diawl Bach etc
Flyman's tip: Tie herls in by their tips, so the flue is stood up as it passes through your finger tips. For durability, use two, or three herls, gently twisted together. Some tyers like to wind the herls over a bed of varnish. A rib of clear mono is also an option to give this herl some protection from sharp trout teeth
