thanks lads, appreciate that, first time with goat hair, its really nice stuff.easy to taper the wing etc..to be honest i don't really know what I'm doing regarding flys that will work in the salt but I'm working on it.

Those are cracking flies Pete.

I have had a bit of a play with some McFlylon:

Looks ideal for dusk that robbie, what's mcflylon?

[Robbie]

It's a synthetic yarn, kind of like polypropylene but given name suspect it is nylon.

What do you think of it? Any good for posts?

[Robbie]

Never used it for posts, but it would do the job well enough. The strands are quite thick, I split one in half for the fly I put up earlier, splitting for posts on smaller flies could be a faff.

Be careful to check the McFlylon  before you buy it. One or two members, including myself, have had some ropy stuff. Full of twists and while not quite knotted the strands were tangled together at various points up its length resulting in a lot of waste. They seem to have had a quality control issue as the first batch I bought was OK.
