This polyyarn works perfectly for dry fly tying. The floatation is excellent and the mottled color looks very natural. I’ve used it on several patterns and the flies stay afloat well in the water.
Mary Miller –
The material is easy to handle and heats evenly when tapered. I appreciate the consistent texture and the way it holds shape without breaking during tying.
Robert Lewis –
Great for creating realistic dry flies. The color matches well with natural insects. A bit harder to taper than some other materials, but with practice it becomes manageable.
Wanda Grant –
Highly recommended for dry fly tyers. The floating quality is unmatched. I’ve used it on multiple patterns and the flies perform well in still water.
