to try turkey flats. Once the fibers get separated, they look a lot

How about flotation? I'd think they absorb alot of water?

For a small skittering type caddis with a front hackle, I like stacked
guard hairs from mink tails. I tie them long so they extend the same
amount as a conventional tail. They're very stiff and light and result
in a very animated fly. (not my pattern but I don't remember where I got it)
