Sorry 8T, but that Flouro material has been voo-dooed ! Charlie has a coven under contract. A selected group of wiccas from the outskirts of Arvada have put the mojo, magic and the Hexigenia into that material to be: " sold only at his emporium". The flies suggested in his book are worthless without it, and no, absolutely no substitutions are allowed! You'll be damned to catch a fish on his namesake fly the jujubee without the stuff. Your just gonna have to put up the $52 bucks for the assortment of fibre... and don't blame us. You were tempted.... so guess what , "Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself..."
Charlie's book is a good one. I managed to get it from the library a while back and enjoyed his no non-sense approach to tying. I know he's prolly tied a billion of the devils and you have to think he can pass on some valuable tips and he did.
Myself, I'm gonna get back to tyin' up some .................
