Biot bodies, Why Not?

Alan,
Beautiful flies. Been using them for a while myself and they work very well.

Alan,
I have used them for quite a few years. Have an example from the early 90's on my page at Hans' site.
The dun's body has subdued segmentation - more smooth. That is why I tie the biot with the smooth side facing on these.
But, the emerger has a much more pronounced segmentation and that is when I use the shiny side facing outwards...

I love using biots for bodies. In fact, not a wet fly, but I have been tying up Hans's flavio pattern the past couple of days for when our streams open around here.

I'll catch up one day!
Thanks
A.

I use biots on my wets also. Only because it is a "natural" element of the fly. I realize that you could argue about dubbing, but I mean "natural" as in feathers... It just works better for me. :cool:

Love biot bodies, for wets and for dries, great segmentation and so easy to use.

been using them for years. and most anything that will wrap a hook. tradition is now out the window, nothing stays the same except barbless hooks. I also use tungsten beads on them
