Peacock Winged Wet

Flityer · Jan 19, 2011

Was looking over my fly collection and liked the looks of a wet fly Ted Patlin traded me for some of mine . So I set down to the vise and whipped a few of them up. It is a peacock winged wet this one tied on a mustad 3906B size 6 with a some what longish wing , can't wait to give it a go maybe take one to a brookie stream and let them beat up on it a bit.

Very nice wets Allen,

I use very similar flies for trout and char here and when in Pennsylvania the March brown / Hares Ear wets were always good for tugs. Nice little layout for the picture too..........

Thank you Ard ! Love to swing wets when there is nothing going on on top of course and I'm with you on the march brown and hares ear , they are a good bet when nothing is happening .
Do you fish Pa. a lot and where do you fish when you come down? I live on the Brodheads where I cut my teeth fly fishing over 30 years ago.

Allen,

Short on time right now but will PM when I come home about Pennsylvania fishing. It's been seven years since I have had the pleasure to fish in my old haunts.

Nice wet flies Allen! Did you use one or multiple strands of gold tensil for the ribbing?

Those are sweet

Thank you Wovenstonefly and futuramille !
On these I tried a couple of different tinsels the wide one is lagartun embossed gold and the ones to the right are done with gold medium oval french tinsel.

Very sharp!

With "peacock winged", I thought maybe it was going to be more like one I tie with peacock sword for the wing and tail.

The hackle's guinea there, but I also tie them smaller and use partridge.

Allen,

I didn't know that you were on this forum - good to have you here!

Nice winged wets!

Hi Allan,

I registered here a year or two ago and started posting , I got caught up in a bunch of other boards and kind of drifted away. This site has grown so much since I was last here , it's great to see.
