Steve I got a few pieces from a friend. Wasnīt really all that impressed. The "Gummi minnow" I gave in another post recently is made of this stuff; http://www.sal****erflies.com/gummyminnow.html You should have a look at Mr. Piitendrighs stuff, he has some great innovative flies on his site. I canīt find the URL right now, ( Just had a system crash), but he will probably see this, and answer you. I have had some good results using silicone caulk and various metallic tinsel. TL MC

Siliskin is pretty useful for smelt flies Stephen, in fact I have had great
success using the Mother of Pearl to make siliskin smelts for Taupo fishing. Thwe siliskin legs are pretty awesome for hoppers etc. It is an Umpqua disrtibuted product in the US and here in NZ, I do not know how they will approach the Aussie market. Let me know if you want more infor and I'll make some calls to find out if we are going to distribute it over there. -- Clark Reid http://www.dryflynz.com Umpqua Designer Flytier

Don't worry thanks Clark, if I a use for it I'll order some from OS when I've got enough items together to make it worthwhile hassling Cabelas or similar.
