    Default playing today

    I got to thinking about the non slip material today and did this.

    That's a GREAT idea, Rick! What did you use for the wings? The top right picture looks like it has a treble hook?

    All are on single hooks. I got some stuff called dolls hair a while ago from some one.
    You could proably use zylon also.

    A very QUICK and EASY, fly! Thanks for sharing it!
    Did you coat, or otherwise reinforce the material at all, Rick? I've got a roll of this same "non-skid" stuff for ant bodies and the fish seem to tear it up pretty easily!?!

    I have not caught anything on them yet.
    But the materials is so cheap and they are so fast to tie That I may not worrry about that.

    I tied a few of these up. For the wing I used a small bunch of DNA white frosty fish fiber. Looks really nice. A small bunch of pearl krystal flash should also work. An easy fly to tie. Now I have to get out and test them.
