I got a chance to play with some of my fly tying stuff last night. While inspecting a pheasant wing I noticed the biots. Duh, I said to myself, all birds should have these. So i broke out the vice and dubbing box and tied up a few hare's ears with the pheasant biots as tails. I happily report I liked the look. I'm sure that others have already found this out, but for me my discovery was exciting. If you haven't used them, give them a shot. I think you'll like them.
