Very well done, as thin as the quill is I'm guessing stripped peacock.

That's what I thought Larry...but Cic says...it's thread

 

[cicvara]

Thank you all.
JB is right, the body of the thread. A thread is in the form of strips and is very similar to the peacock quill.. Synthetics and does not absorb water. I have it in several colors, good for the body caddis and stonefly.

One advice, wherever you look you can find something good for tying some of his flies.

Cic, nicely done; what is the body material called? Is it something used for embroidery?

cicvara: That is very interesting thread, I would have swore the body was quill. That thread sure provides an interesting texture! Very nice fly, congrats!

Dan, it is a synthetic thread. PVC or so, I have it in different colors.

Hey Cic where do you get it?think many members will be interested by the info

 

[cicvara]

Currently nowhere, but soon I will have that little bit more so I'll answer here in the forum.
I will first do a series of flies that can be used to size the hook. And will do one step by step.

Nice Dun, Rasevic!

I agree with the others, the way that you tied in that thread makes it look a lot like quill; except that, for me, the varigation in the thread makes it look better than quill.
