Recently I was reading about Horberg flies. The body, wigs were mallard. Cheap and available. The eyes were jungle cock. Expensive and rare. Maybe even an endangered species. Personally I won't tie with such materials even if I could get them. Anyway, they started tying the hornbergs without the jungle cock eye and they just didn't fish. Was it confidence? Maybe that was part of it but I think the fly lost something too. Even though I happen to be one who thinks eye do help.
