 For tying salmon or trout flies

 Peacock fibers are fantastic for fly tying! They offer a natural iridescence with their dark blue-green iridescence naturally mimics the iridescence found in many insects and are commonly used as a body material for a sturdy structure that makes them perfect for creating bodies, thoraxes, and even wings on various fly patterns.

 The iridescent feathers of the peacock, often called "peacock sabre or sword feathers," are among the most striking features of these birds. Train feathers are the elongated upper coverts of the tail and form a spectacular fan-shaped display during courtship rituals. Each feather has a central shaft with a set of colorful eyespots or "ocelli," created by microscopic structures that scatter light. These eyespots are what give the peacock's train its distinctive shimmering appearance. Peacocks use their impressive displays primarily during mating rituals to attract peahens. During the display, the peacock raises its tail, fanning it out in a magnificent display that highlights the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the feathers. This display not only serves to attract potential mates, but also establishes dominance among competing males. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns of peacock feathers have captivated humans for centuries, inspiring art, fashion, and design. They are truly one of nature's most stunning creations.
