Fly Tying: Galloup's Peacock Dungeon

Finally!!! After months of anticipation and me promising a big unveil of new materials/flies we have the "nearly perfect" dungeon. This fly is as close to the perfect combination between black and olive as I've come up with to date using the deer hair that I've processed and dyed in the hopes of creating something you can't find in the bins at any shop. I'm a few materials away from this fly being "complete" but this is the foundation of what I've had in mind. I hope you enjoy it!

Awesome looking tie your deerhair is topnotch... Def getting some of the peacock bucktail when it drops. Thanks Josh I've learned alot watching your video's. #SouthJersey #Fortescue #DelawareBay

Black over Whitlock's turquoise marabou could be an interesting color combo with the peacock hair. Some peacock color marabou out there, but nothing specifically for fly tying from what I've found

[@varnersstreamers]

Ya, that may do the trick. I've been searching for a while and just haven't found the right combination yet.

I will be buying hair from you once you are up and running. That Peacock Color got me thinking, we have a black caddis hatch here where I live at near dark, # 18 it just might make for a heck of a wing too. The only way to know is to tie up a few and see what the brown trout say!

[@varnersstreamers]

Heck ya George, I hope to be fully stocked this winter.

Nice fly and materials especially that supple bucktail dyed peacock! Longtime fly fisherman and Tyer from Michigan. Started following Kelly’s techniques and streamer fishing in the mid 90’s at a seminar and book signing of his first book. I’m subscribing and hope to get some of these materials in the future! 👍🏽

That bucktail is sick. It would make some great salt water herring patterns for salmon here in the Northwest.

[@varnersstreamers]

Thanks Greg, I didn't even think about that species, I don't know why but I automatically went to pike and musky.

Killer colour

Thanks Hugo

Fabulous pattern Josh ! Will try it out here in Qc for stripped bass. Can you please share a description of the rod, line and leader you use to fish this pattern ?

[@varnersstreamers]

Thanks Michael, I use a 7 wt with a 280 grain sink tip. For the leader I use a foot of 20lb and 18-24" of 12 lb.

[@mikeney5113]

That hair and buck tail Is damn nice.great pattern josh.thanks for sharing

[@varnersstreamers]

Thanks as always Mike!

[@douglasdusel4185]

Any availability of some big bucktail Josh? Especially in that peacock variant.

[@varnersstreamers]

I only have a few this year. Next year I should have it by the dozens if not hundreds.
