Rich Strolis 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2011 Rich, The pattern looks great. What exactly is body fur and where can I find it? Rob Rob, all body fur is really, is a synthetic material like ice fur or antron that is chopped into about a 1 inch length with some flash thrown in then sewn together like chenille. They make 2 sizes of the stuff and it comes in a slew of colors. Google search it, I believe the guys at TCO flyshop have it in stock. Personally I like the white as you can color it to any color you wish as it takes marker well. Willy Self out in Montana turned me on to the stuff, glad he did as it is a very quick alternative to building shape to a fly. I don't know what happened to my account, but I was denied access on the old name, guess I have to start from scratch.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the information about the body fur. I have been looking for a great sculpin pattern and this looks like the trick. I like your videos.

I'm always looking for alternatives and new stuff to play with..... Thanks for all the compliments on the videos, it means a lot and never gets old.
