Living in Calgary the last five years, it's amazing I never have used it. It's very popular around there. I had enough success with other similar peacock patterns like Zug Bugs and Prince nymphs that I never got around to trying it.

I did see Jeremy Davies tie them once, and I like some of his other variations on it, particularly the Damsel Weevil. Same idea but olive with a long marabou tail. He has a website with his patterns and info, but I don't think it's been updated for some time.

Thanks for the link.

Is it me, or does Jeremy really like Jeremy?

Yeah, his site comes across that way, but he wasn't that bad when I've met him in person.
