Herman mentioned organza. Its very nice stuff and can be purchased cheap at
your local fabric store. Buy the right color and BANG, instant wings. I
like to cut a long thin rectangle, tie it in perpendicular to the fly, then
tease out the weft. Done with sparkle organza (ask for it in the store) and
its an instant spinner wing. Darker colors, sealed with head cement or
heated (the edge will fray), make very good hopper wings.

Would it make it more interesting to the fish if you left the trailing
edges of the wings go and fray?

I won't address the obscenity of cutting up maps. I won't. Well,
only just that mention. Aaaaaaaaarrrrgh!
