Tying a Red Hot Spot Peacock Quill Nymph for Euro-nymphing

This is a fly developed for trout and grayling fishing and is extremely efficient if is used the Euro Nymphing Technique or Fishing on Sight. (casting in front of the fish and dynamizing the fly to induce the attack).
The entire fly is made respecting the good practices of this style: hot spot to induce the attack or to increase the fish curiosity , thin profile for easy casting and life-like appearance, and elements that offer mobility: CDC.
Tying tips:
-don't overload with cdc, it's the biggest mistake. Many tiers and anglers exaggerate by using too much cdc which will lead to covering the body, reducing its visibility and lack of adequate mobility in the water.
Cheers and have fun tying!
