Thanks guys,

This is another side trip for me!
But it's proven to be attractive to the fish, so there you go.
I'm still working on getting them better but the basic design is solid so far.
I know there's a method of tying with this material the EP shows in videos but the attempts have not been good so far. I'll probably try that way again because it obviously works for the flies that EP ties.
It basically involves tying the tail and the tying the rest with short pieces all along the hook shank to the head. This results in the hair standing up and down on the shank. This can then be trimmed to shape.

Thanks for the tip on the palmer chenille JJ. I can see how it would be a good look.
That is some really nice stuff for sure.

Another test session needs doing, if the weather gets decent. Test, test, test every chance I get.
This snow, rain, clouds, and cold is what's called 'duck and goose weather'
