Sandfly
Best I could come up with, what's the width for this stuff? I bet this would make great abdomens on Stonefly Nymphs and for Scud back and Caddis larva and pupa abdomens.

 

[sandfly]

1/16 in. I use it for caddis, stone flys, wet flies, etc..check out the wet flys I did on another thread. coated it with solareze UV to give it depth.

 

[Lonewolve]

is it available in 1/8", 3/16" ? looks to be a neat way to do bodies

 

[sandfly]

Used to have it in a larger size will have to go digging for some...
here is the blue quill for the summit, some lucky person will be getting these flies.

 

[MHanes]

Interesting. does it cut easily for smaller flies?

 

[MHanes]

As far as colors I am more of a can of naming the color not the fly. in one area its a BWO out west it may be more like a Western Green Drake.

reminds me of tyvek house wrapping paper

If you are asking for opinions I will give mine. Looks good for bodies but not for wings. Actually, it is not the way it looks but more how it will function. I feel wings are somewhat overrated on smaller flies to begin with but that material looks way to stiff to use as a wing. I feel it will twist tippet when casted. I tie some cut wing patterns for olives. In an attempt to make them a little tougher I coated the wings with a very thin coat of flexament. Tied a batch of flies. The damn things twisted my tippet like crazy so I tossed them. I would really test them out before I market that material as a winging option.

It looks great. Would they work well on mayfly nymphs and french style nymphs? If so I will take some in brown or tan or grey. PM me if you are willing to sell.
