I've never used Bill's Body Braid, what are your thoughts concerning using flash as a substitute? I've heard the BBB is much finer and limper when picked out.

I was too lazy to look that pattern up in "Trout" when you first posted, just did it now. And I actually do have a few pieces of orange and green hackle, so I'll do this one tonight.
