Description

Upavon Peacock Straggle replicates the iridescent, multi-tonal quality of natural peacock in a straggle chenille format — the same mobile, pulsing fiber construction as the rest of the Upavon straggle range but with the peacock blend's characteristic mix of greens, browns, and bronzes that reads as naturalistic complexity rather than flash. Use it for thoraxes and bodies on Hare's Ear and Zug Bug variants, as a collar material on wet flies and soft hackles, or wound as a body on Woolly Worm and Woolly Bugger patterns where the peacock effect adds the subtle iridescence that trout key on.

Field Notes

Use this peacock straggle chenille as dubbing/collar/body material when tying wet flies, soft hackles, and classic patterns like Hare’s Ear and Zug Bug variants. It can also be wound as a body on Woolly Worm/Woolly Bugger-style flies to add subtle iridescence that trout key on.

Pros

  • Iridescent peacock blend adds naturalistic complexity
  • Mobile/pulsing fiber construction works well for thoraxes and bodies
  • Versatile for multiple wet fly and streamer-style patterns

Cons

  • Tying material—requires fly-tying skills and tools
  • No lure action; effectiveness depends on fly pattern and presentation
