johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 Bill Peabody commercialized the use of woven Mylar threads in saltwater fly tying. Unfortunately Bill passed away way too young in 1998. He was a saltwater fly designer, tying instructor, saltwater guide and one of the nicest guys on the planet. Bill’s bodi braid or Bill’s body braid is available in lots of fly shops in lots of colors. I believe there are a couple of YouTube vids where he ties his Rhode Island Flat Wing pattern as well as a few other patterns. The braid maybe more familiar to northeast salty guys.

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 I can remember receiving samples of Bill’s braid some years ago but it was a bit fine for my needs… I’d already been able to have custom made, tons of braid in larger sizes, mostly in pearl (spools of the stuff, hundreds of yards at a time, done up for me by Pat Dunlop at Cascade Crest). The most recent pattern I’ve posted on this site, a bendback fly, clearly shows the braid I’ve used the most for bodies on larger patterns…. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
