The Brown Hackle Peacock is a timeless attractor dry fly that blends the natural iridescence of peacock herl with the stability and visibility of a brown hackle. This simple yet highly effective combination creates a fly that imitates a wide range of adult aquatic insects, most notably mayflies, while also functioning as a general searching pattern when trout are feeding opportunistically. The peacock body produces a subtle, lifelike shimmer that mimics the natural sheen of insect bodies on the water’s surface.
Equally effective in rivers and stillwaters, the Brown Hackle Peacock rides cleanly in the surface film and floats well in both calm and lightly broken water. Its versatility makes it a reliable choice throughout the season, especially when trout are willing to rise but not keyed in on a specific hatch.
Best for:
- General mayfly imitation and attractor dry-fly fishing
- Clear to lightly broken water in rivers and lakes
- Prospecting when trout are feeding on the surface
📌 Pro Tip: Fish this pattern with a drag-free drift first, then add a subtle twitch at the end of the drift—the peacock herl often flashes just enough to trigger a late strike.
