Do You Have Eyes?

Tying a simple wet fly, with beautiful body inspired by onceandaway (James Lund). This is almost an alternative material. Its barb from peacock's eye.... But not stripped, and that's what makes it almost alternative.
Hope you will enjoy the video.
Cheers
Vladimir

Beautiful fly. Love the attention to details.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

@@CBL138 thank you so much. I enjoy going into details. Its like meditation for me

[@emilleum48]

I have never seen a demonstration for how, where and why you should use the eye of thr Peacock feathers, a really clear and helpful demonstration for tying this beautiful soft-hackle fly, thank you,

Thank you so much for your kind comment
I have to admit I have not seen similar video either. Except few more that i made. Look for skeletor nymph, skeletor parachute and fire ant.

Nice.. Gone to test the eye on my grayling flies..

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks. I am sure they will love it.

[@Michael-hg6ky]

Thank you for explaining the details of how you select the eye feather and setting the long barbs to show more. Just fantastic.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Glad you like it. Thanks for your kind comment. 😀🍻

[@paulbridgers3820]

Great looking fly, and a really good save . Thanks for sharing.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much for watching. I will have to be careful about these mustad hooks.they cut thread quite often.

[@johnshand6176]

I must try and replicate it as the colour is superb. This should attract a few hens into the net! Regards.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Looking forward to hearing from you 🍻

[@chasselynch5733]

Way back in the day they were my go to for dry flies but the synthetic quills today so much better durable

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I never tried synthetic. Its just something i dont like without real reason. But i will probably at least give them a try

[@wvlongshooter3912]

I really like this fly, thanks!!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Nice

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks 🍻

[@andyk914]

Nice beard Dude. I watch lots of your videos and really like them.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. 🍻for both, beard and videos 😀😀

[@qilingandfriends]

liked!

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Now its time to catch some tilapia with it 😂😂

[@Adipper]

Nice one Vladimir!! Can you provide the hook reference? To my "eye" looks like TMC3769, not sure. Always looking for nice shape/weight for traditional North Country Spiders. Thanks.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you so much. Unfortunately no idea about the hook. Its some mustad i got in bulk. But tiemco is probably my favorite brand.

[@robgreen6697]

Do you inspect your capes before buying or play the online order lottery? That’s a lovely fly and kudos for the save without superglue

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I was lucky enough to buy all capes i have (3 for dry and 2 for wet flies) from trustworthy people. But i dont think you can go wrong with whiting
You may get a bit off color but quality is amazing

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Very nice meticulous fly. I use peacock eyes a lot. They make beautiful iridescent bodies as you know! :-) Are you in Europe again now?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thank you very much. Amazing bodies for sure. And decently durable too. I am not in Europe. Back to China. 😀

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

i'd like to see how that works out.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I am sure it will catch. Hope i will give it a try soon

[@tozankyaku14]

Is this the part of the peacock that you use for the skeletor fly?

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Exactly that one. 🍻

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

Thanks so much 🍻🍻
