Poly Wing Dry Flies with Synthetic Quill Bodies


I ordered several synthetic quill bodies to experiment with from Canadian Llama Company. I wanted to give them a try! I am pleased with the results although they did take a little bit to get used to. I learned that I prefer goose or turkey biots for smaller mayfly imitations although for size 14 and size 12 imitations, the synthetic quills are excellent. 

I use macrame cord for my wings and posts. Macrame cord helps dry flies float like a cork. It is easy to work with too. Just unravel a piece, brush it out with a velcro or wire brush and then tie it in just like any polywing material.
