You could probably use it for bodies on any regular fishing fly if you wanted to. Like a bugger with a wool body instead of chinille. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Hi DAVIDM, You already have some good answers so I'll just add one additional. I like to use a small clump that I cut from the hide like it was a flat piece of yarn. When wrapped on a hook as a dry-fly body it looks really good and floats like a cork. I find the natural color makes a pretty good PMD imitation. Of course when it is dyed you can get just about any color. Take care & ...
