Anyone here have any good patterns for llama hair sand crabs and squid
(like jay murokosi uses) or bait patterns like Gray Wolf uses?


I find llama, alpaca and yak at our Sheep and Wool festival for about 1/10
the price at the fly shops (hell, you can buy a 20 year supply of angora
dubbing for about 4 bucks, silk for 8).
I just use the hair in place of long streamer hackle. If you leave the
lanolin in, it doesn't absorb as much water (though, if dyed, you have to
replace the lanolin).
