Glad you're back Norm.
Finished up this last round of frogs
Husband’s…hehe
Brian - The peacock herl lays pretty flat when wet, the profile becomes thin - I fish it as a chronie. @John Svahn posted a pretty cool "snail" pattern several years ago that I've fished and done well with. My version of John's fly has starling soft hackle, the herl is thicker (fatter?) and the bead is tungsten rather than plastic in the chronies.

10:58 at night and I almost forgot. Here's my "Throw Back Thursday" fly this week
Kaufmanns Coal Car
The pattern for this fly, originated by Randall Kaufmann, came from the fine book by Dick Stewart and Farrow Allen, Flies for Steelhead. They write that Randall Kaufmann designed the Coal Car as a darker variation of his Freight Train. It's most effective on dark and overcast days. The fly has a good reputation as a dark day fly, with just enough color to attract the fishes attention.

Nice. This one has always been one of my favorites. Years ago I came up with a slight variation that used fluorescent red floss over a silver tinsel base to really pop, and added some hot pink Krystal flash, I called it the “Runaway Coal Car” and it caught a few Grand Ronde fish.
Your version here is one of the best I’ve seen, gorgeous!
