I have an assortment from their smallest to largest and they are all out of the packages so I can't give you the dimensions, but it becomes pretty obvious when you put it on. Using a pair of fine tipped tweezers makes putting on the beads much easier. On the smaller flies I only use one peacock herl, in fact I actually size them by stroking down the barbels. Not all herls are created equal, some are much bushier than others. Again, it becomes pretty obvious when tying. The weakness of this fly is the peacock, and it is the first thing to come unraveled when fishing. Sometimes I spin the thread and herl together before wrapping, it makes it more bomb proof but it doesn't look as nice. In larger sizes I might use two herls together. A variation I make when tying the PT callibaetis style is to dub a lighter body with dubbing, then lash the PT onto the back of the fly to make a two color abdomen, then I lift it up the tail end, put in the herl thorax, and use the remainder of the PT for a wing case. Another variation is to tie in a bit of crystal mylar tinsel before tying in the herl, then use that for a flashback wingcase. But the truth is the basic BHPT catches as many as the other styles.

(The picture below has a little hare's ear incorporated, that was just an experiment, and not usually done). This is my number one fly, and it has accounted for hundreds of fish, mostly caught with a size 18, though I tie it between 14 and 22. A very easy tie, it takes about 5 minutes if the beads are already on a bunch of hooks. Tom -Inline Attachment Follows- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Broke my right foot on Tuesday. Tripped on a step and sit down on my foot. The break is right behind the base of my two toes next to big toe. Not much to do about it except to tough it out. The steps weren't really steps, but landings and were about two feet wide, instead of the standard step width. I was wearing sandals and caught the heel on the lip of the step.
