The Copper John uses goose biots as well. I believe that it is now, or
recently was, Umpqua's #1 selling fly.



Most I've seen look more like this:

but I don't doubt that the original had biots.

The standard pattern uses them for the tail.

Goose biots are also used on stone fly nymphs and as bodies on dry flies.
