...body--3/32" strip of closed cell foam 6" long (I got as close as
possible to 3/32".......... 7/8"?);...

Any suggestions from Master Tyer's would be greatly appreciated!

No master myself, but I believe I could hide a box of a hundred size 12
short shank hooks pretty effectively in a 6" long by 7/8" wide strip of just
about anything. Personally, I think you did well to wind up with something
that bears even a passing resemblance to a fly.

Actually, I got alot closer to 3/32" than I admitted to. I tied a coupla
more after posting and they turned out pretty dang good. I'll try to posts
some pics at a.b.p.f., in the near future.

I'm beginin' to get the hang of that Renzetti Mr. Mohnsen sent me. I like
it berry, berry much!
