I have used Milkweed fluff for bodies on a few dry flies. They float forever
I don't know if it will take color from a marking pen.

This reminds me of a caddis pattern I used to tie using the matured
and open seed pod's white fluff from a cardoon plant (looks almost
exactly like an archtichoke and is closely related). The fly floated
great but fell apart quickly as the fibers were very brittle. I DID
catch trout on it though.

Hans and Niclas. Being vegan does not mean I am against using
animal products on flies. It means much research has convinced us
we will be able to cast our creations to some of God's most artful
work, admire their beauty, release them, and neither us nor them
will endure more pain from the experience. It means my joints
won't ache after a day at the stream or lake, I can remember the
day and if I can avoid being hit by a truck, I can build a lot
more memories. We love it and we wish everyone could enjoy it
like us. We do wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
