yup, in fact, Frogs Fanny(or generic) is good on a host of subsurface
patterns, especially loop-dubbed nymphs and wets.

But the generic doesn't have that lovely picture of a frog.

True, but it costs about $25 a gallon instead of $4.95 for a little
bottle. ;-)
RE quills: I have been tying some emergers and spinners with moose
mane or moose body hair. Here again, it makes a thin, segmented, and
fairly durable body for dark bodied patterns. Also needs to be soaked
before using, and a thin coat of head cement after tying, makes it
look better and enhances durability.
