*The peacock herl butt is listed under ‘tip’ in the written recipes. There is no tip on the Golden Rod but I believe the appearance of this fly could be enhanced by the addition of a gold tinsel tip.

Tom, how did you fish that muddler?

Top dropper, dead drifted then swung into a soft spot, slowly stripped back to the edge. Tends to get hammered drifting over/into the front, top edge, of a pool. I've also used them as a good tail fly with a beadhead above.
