When tying really small flies and you can’t find a biot
small enough, just look to a tail feather and use a single strand to get that
fuzzy ribbing effect. Add some crazy glue to the shank prior to wrapping for
added durability.
In the photo above, I used a single I’m a turkey tail
feather. Try using goose, swan, pheasant etc.
Thanks for looking

nice tip. thanks.
Great tip I use them all the time... Here's one I tie using a dyed goose feather vane for the body: [IMG]http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k290/drkorn/fly%20tying/DSCN0963.jpg[/IMG]
Also for larger flies you can use 2-3 vanes...... super body material....
