Grizzly Hackle, Peacock

The Grizzly Hackle Peacock pattern imitates a wide range of insects in a generic, buggy way—mayflies, beetles, or even caddisflies. The iridescent peacock herl body combined with a grizzly hackle creates a flashy, natural-looking profile that works well as an attractor.

History:
This is a simple, versatile pattern that emerged from traditional tying techniques, combining two of the most effective materials in fly tying: peacock herl for body and grizzly hackle for movement. It’s often used in faster water or as a searching pattern.
