Alpaca is great for streamers. Its go a great long staple so I just comb it
out by holding the base of the staple and using a wire dog brush. Use it
for winging material in your flies, as it is very supple. It doesnt have
much transluscency so use some flash-abou underneath to give it some flash.
You can also spin it into wool head flies.

They are rastafarian llamas, if memory serves correctly. Maybe some
Andean trout fishers have patterns, but I live in scotland, so I was
raised to tie clyde style... light, wet, minimalistic and hatch
matching. LoL

You are thinking of anthrax... dunno if it kills trout though. :-)
