Default Quill-bodied mayflies...

I like goose biots. If you tie them in correctly, one edge will curl up
for a really authentic segmented look to the body.

copyright me.


have you tried bleached and dyed turkey biot? Sort of the same effect(turn
biot over and tie, and the edge lays flat, still segmentation but less
prominent). Agreed, biots seem to be my go-to for a thin, segmented body at
the moment.
Allan Podell gave me a whole range of dyed, bleached peccary. They make
great quills, and are easy to tie with, with GREAT segmentation. The main
problem, I cannot find a reliable source of bleached or for that matter,
any, peccary hairs.....
