I tye them both ways. I should tye them with a tail all the time. It's easyer to bite the tail off while you are on the river, than it is to tie a tail on.
Take out that peacock herl thorax and substitute a small black tungsten bead in some. Gets it down a little further and has saved many a fishing trip for me in the past.
What are nippers? LOL I do tend to bite them off. Dont know why, but I do :-)
Add a bead? Nah, now the fly is rendered one dimensional. Keep the Peacock, slide a bead above the fly on your tippet, or add splitshot. Now I can use one fly in the entire water column. Just my opinion.
