The peacock herl version is commonly known as the cheeseburger and is beloved amongst those who nymph fish for steelhead. This makes it a favorite of Judge Smails' grandson, Spaulding.

I want a hot dog, I want a milkshake, I want potato chips...." before his grandfather snipped, "You'll get NOTHING and LIKE IT!"
