Pattern

The Ammarnäs series is intended for them chasing the big brown trout at the upper parts of the river Vindelälven, but it works well by all sea trout waters and many salmon waters.
The series efficiency has proved itself on many locations like Patagonia, New Zealand the Swedish West coast and salmon waters where you prefer somewhat larger flies.

Comment

The Black Peacock is fished by very faint light. Moonlight to pitch-black is the best prerequisite for this fly.

The fly should be tied with a top wing, which may well be slightly spread horizontally for a wider profile in the water.
