Frank Sawyer's Nymphs

No Ray, its the fluff at the bottom of any Dun, Brown, or natural Brahma hackle. Rooster or hen. I apply it in a split thread.

Wow, zero waste! I like that!

Yeah, the Sawyer method of nymphing is the game elevated. I've pulled it off a few times. Not easy. You really need to put the time into it. But when it works...the feeling is like no other.

I really love this thread. I keep coming back to it over and over and over again.

Yes, It's the filoplume from the base of a feather.
Their insulation and our super soft when you want lots of life in your pattern.
Work that into your Sawyer ... or just fish a perdigon

Sorry Dale, I dont use the filoplume. I use the fluff at the bottom of the main feather.

Wow, I didn't even know what filoplume was until a few minutes ago, when I looked it up. Amazing what I learn here.
