Don,

This fly is looking out very interesting.
The hair is more or less like dark bear fur.
But the body is not easy to see. And the tying technique is unknown if
this really is bear fur.

Hi,

A friend of mine gave me this fly and asked me to try and find out what
type of fur/hair it is tied with. I did the best I could with a
photograph of it:

I posted it to my website as a high resolution jpg at 600k so broadband
connections may be best.

The fur is soft not stiff..medium tan with black tips. The most unusual
thing is the kinked tips. Looks like they are kinked at a 60 degree
angle.

Any help in identifying this material would be appreciated.
