Very easy
  1. Tie in the braid along the top of the hook down to the bend, wind forward in touching turns, tie in and trim off the waste.
  2. Tie in a strand of peacock herl, wind forward and tie in. Hold the thread tight and snap off the waste herl.
  3. Build a neat head, whip finish and varnish.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
