Peacock tail sword/feathers

[holly]

The Alexander and anything with peacock herl in it just gives me confidence,I reckon we can be as fickle as the fish were hunting and it may sound odd to some but having confidence in a fly can make a difference of wether we catch or not,I really do believe that as I've fished like a drain when I'm not confident,which often leads to missed takes as I'm not switched on as it were.

I completely agree with you andyantiquefly.

I have read whereby ,confidence in your fly transfers down your line, to the point of contact.

I also like to maintain a constant figure of eight.
