Frank,
I've talked with Shane several times about the "Medallion Sheeting" and
actually it's a product distributed by "Hareline Dubbin, Inc.".... I've
tied up just about every fly in that book and have fished just about all of
them on the San Juan River, here in the upper Northwest corner of New
Mexico... They work great... Have caught a lot of fish using them... What
I don't like about the "Medallion Sheeting" is that after a while of the fly
being in the water, the sheeting tends to lose it's coloration, but most of
the time the fly is so beat-up by the fish I have to change out the fly
anyway...

Got this book this weekend in the sale bin at Bass Pro. Its by Shane
Stalcup. Wonderful. His photography is stunning and the key concepts of
the book are highlighted by the photography.
What he tries to do is a "Tyer's Benchside Reference," using his
techniques.
In addition, there are specific patterns. You learn a specific technique
and come out with a fly.
One major critique is that he has some wonderful pics of mayflies in the
book but does not identify them. Just a pic with no title.
Question for anyone. I've noticed he uses a lot of "Medallion Sheeting"
for
wings. Is this a commercial name for plastic raffia?
