I find that woolly nylon, available at your nearest fabric store, beats the
heck out of quill for the 20 and down sized flies..even works great for the
bigger ones. you can twist it to make it stand out like a quill, and lay it
flat for a very smooth body, and, neat thing, it comes in all the best
colors with no dying. Give it a try. One spool is enough for thousands of
dozens of flies. We figured out that the cost per fly of a 14-16 sized fly
was .003 cents, so it is economical as well..an important point when one has
many to tie. Joyce
