I am a huge fan of quill body fly's as they appear a lot more natural than a standard dubbed body fly and I think many of you would agree.
I finally broke down after years of tying with natural quill for my quill body fly's and decided to try a synthetic quill. What a difference they wind on so nice and smooth no pre soaking involved although I would prefer a little stronger taper to these as you have to build the taper in the body of the fly with your tying thread. The ones I used are MCLEAN'S quill body from Metz got to say they are great they create a beautifull looking fly.
Have any of you tried these out and what are your thoughts on them ?
