The Troll Hair Hopper

I humbly thank you for your service.

Nice fly.

I too am always looking for unique tying material for fly tying. I even have my wife looking.... ha ha.

It would be an interesting thread to see what unique things tiers use.

For bodies I have tried silver duct tape, craft foam, flip-flops, beer tabs shaped with woven silver braid over, embroidery floss, cat/dog hair,

and dubbing from rug yarn.

I have even cut open old  bungee cords for rubber legs.

 

I use the heavy packing film used to ship electronics and use sharpies to color to suit. Foil tops of nut cans, dental floss color to suit with sharpie, nitrile gloves, wool lint from the dryer, fabric sheets and scotch tape for wings, and any man made material I find.

Good ones!
