Peacock Herl - Natural

Peacock Herl

Peacock herl is one of the most iconic and versatile fly-tying materials, prized for its natural iridescence that trout simply can’t resist. The subtle shimmer and shifting green, bronze, and blue tones make it a staple for countless classic and modern patterns.

This material boasts numerous fish-attracting qualities, making it perfect for bodies, thoraxes, and collars on everything from traditional nymphs to lifelike beetle patterns. Its soft, fibrous texture adds movement in the water, imitating the natural sheen of many aquatic insects.

We’ve now dyed a selection of colours to give tiers even more creative options, with additional shades being added in the near future.

A must-have in every fly tier’s kit, peacock herl has stood the test of time for good reason—few materials match its ability to bring flies to life and trigger takes from wary trout.
