Substitution and relavance
I am about to tie up some Prince nymphs for a trip that I have comming up and have no Brown goose biots. The recipie calls for "Goose" biots. I have got a goodly batch of turkey biots on hand . Is there any real difference of performance between turkey and goose biots?
Thanks ,

Substitution is good for the soul!
Hi Perch,
There are few materials in fly tying that don't have several good substitutes. I'm a firm believer in using what you have even if you need to take a Sharpie Marker to it in order to get the right color. Jungle cock eyes/nails are the one exception to this rule. Remember, use what you have and don't worry about it. 8T :)
