Do you know a source (internet) where you can buy the materials? Which is the best material you have used for the fly....the ones I have are very shiny and I think are unique hair or slinky fiber....?[/quote]
Hello,Jim!
Most of my tying materials I bought at Saltwater Flies! SALTWATERFLIES.COM -- The finest in saltwater fly fishing. The owner is Chris Windram a nice honest person and a profesional tier, whom we met in Martha's Vineyard, the last couple of years he used to fish with my two fishing budds Rene & Ton 'cause they run also a tying website here in Holland.The best thing is look at dwskok.com - Fly Tying and Photography by Dave Skok - HOME fly tying!! Here you can see the material he used, it is a little difficult in the beginning so watch his tips!!!
Unique hair & slinky fiber are just the material for holding the much softer Wing'n Flash,Lite Brite,flashabou or Angel hair.See also ASWF.org and see Steve Farrar blending the materials into small tapered bundles. Don't make it to thick in the beginning, just small bundles!! You know the more you do it, the better the fly! Hope you can make the proper fly for YF Tuna!
I think Adrianus going nuts!! and we have another flyfisher with us.
Good luck & take care
PS. Don't forget the Softex, the collors is your choice!!
