A few size 18 PMDs. CDC biot cripple: Rene Harrop pattern Tilt wing dun. And a Catskill style.

Beautiful

Appreciate that @Silver Creek

@Silver Creek, that's a realy nice hex tie. We don't get those here in CO. Green and gray drakes are our biggest. 10's and 12s usually.

Thanks, I like yours too. I'm thinking the next few I tie I'm going to use wing coverts from a rooster pheasant for the wing. Tail and body, not sure. Maybe the chickabou maybe the filoplume as @Silver Creek mentioned, maybe some marabou. I'll take a look through my feathers. Sub-ing materials is always a fun time (seriously). I'm going to put that fly to the test tomorrow.

@SilverCreek that was very educational. Thank you

I use Loon Aquel and it works fine on my kapok dubbed flies

Thank you sir!
