As reviewed by Magnus Angus in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying magazine
An interesting natural material for tying realistic nymph bodies.
No cats were harmed in the making of this product ! It is actually made from lamb or pork intestine.
The material is becomes soft, flexible and translucent when soaked in water this gives a very lifelike effect in the finished fly. Its best to soak it for a while before tying.
The packs each contains 50cm length and the dry diameters are approx.:
Extra Small New! 0.25mm - good for flies as small as #18
Small 0.4mm
Medium 0.5mm
Large 0.8mm
When soaked in water the length remains the same but the diameter increases by about 50%
