AP: What are you tying, Muddler Minnows? or is it for a wing case on a nymph? -- AKSkim *....

AP: Without knowing what materials you have in stock, I might suggest using a white quill feather (duck or goose) and a brown marker to develop the mottled look. AKS -- AKSkim *....

Mottled Turkey in most cases are sold in pairs and are used for wing and or tails on wet flies and muddler minows. May I suggest just using Brown or Cinamon tipped Turkey tail. It works great on nymphs far as wing cases and it also provides a little extra sheen that I believe to be an extra enhancer for fish catching on the fly. Hope this helps. Andy Brasko P.S. Turkey tail 99% available on line and at most fly shops. -- Andy B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy B's Profile: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti....php?userid=64 View this thread: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...ad.php?t=14985 ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

AP, You can use Grouse tail. It's softer so you'll want to double it up. You can do what You can also do what was suggested about making your own. Surprising that you can't find any. It's not a difficult material to obtain.
