MeddelandeGary: I never thought to put the fly ( or some of that material) in some water to see if it would float. BUT, I JUST put some of that material in water and it floats. Not very much, as it rides deep in the surface film, but it DOES float. The more sites I look at it at, and now you telling me that Poly floats, I'm 99% sure that that's what it is.

Whatever it is the wings look great. Poly, as in polypropylene would be preferable for a floating fly. Antron is great for emergers and wet flies because is a tri-lobal fiber that makes the fly brighter. And if you tease it, it will trap air bubbles. But Antron doesn't float. Poly does.

I'd say Poly yarn too. That's what all my Poly yarn looks like... while all my Antron yarn has a more "thin", "straight" and "less messy" look. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] För ashley strutt Skickat: den 10 mars 2012 07:24 Till: [email protected] Ämne: Re: [VFB] Antron Question??? Hi Chuck, I would be tempted to say that the material was poly yarn. It looks very similar to a poly yarn that I have.

I have been using this material I have several "cards" of on a fly (pic attached) I have been experimenting with, and I thought the material is antron, but now I'm not so sure. I bought it on sale several years ago for about 3 cards for a dollar, and as you can see, it's not marked, and I have forgotten exactly what it's called. Is it actually antron?? Or something totally different?? It makes great dragonfly wings etc as you can see.
