Pete, the web wing is quite different than organza. It
doesn't seem to fray like organza. My demonstration
fly I was tying at Sowbug was a tent wing caddis that
I had read about that morning in Fly Fisherman and
picked up the material on the way to the Lutheran
Center. It seems to be a tighter weave. If you can't
find it from Byard, you can e-mail Ronn at
yagersflies.com. He was getting all of the colors into
his shop.
