    Default free flies

    I'll send this fly and five more assorted flies to the first person who can correctly identify all of the materials in the fly. The hook is a size 16 hook and hackle dry fly hook.

    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    #16 dry fly hook
    Thread: Black
    Tail:Golden Pheasant tippet
    Body: Peacock Herls and Red Floss
    Wing: White something...can't tell for sure..the ends aren't tapered, so it appears to be either clipped hair or a synthetic of some sort. Could be deer hair, or calf tail or calf body, or bleached elk, or polar bear, or zelon/antron/polyproplylene fibers
    Hackle: Brown dry fly hackle

    The wing looks like finely shredded paper but it is probably some type of foam or plastic string. The diameter is fairly large.

    2.5 to 3.0 thousands of an inch if that helps.

    Could the wing be glow-in-the-dark fibers of some sort?
