Yes, I am not familiar with twisted goose fibers either. I have goose shoulder...but I don't think that is what you are using.

-Thanks for your comments.
-Hook is gamakatsu. It is very difficult to come up with our good hook, a Mustad almost never do.
-Hank, thank you, here is a really cool, great snow, but endure.
-I guess the pictures say more than my words in English.
-You can use barb pheasant, heron,turkey, peacock...thread must not be more thin,
good for the body caddis.
-Thank you for your understanding.

All the best.

Very nice, thank you for showing us the method you used Rasevic.

Howdy All;

Kinda looks to me like he's talking about biots ????

I'm may be wrong ...

Thanks for elaborating--and the photograph really helps. It should be a great fly--somewhat like the "Usk Naylor" that's tied with a bronze mallard flank body.

Fantastic fly. Thanks for sharing.

A classic pattern extremely well executed. Bravo.

Cicvara, now I'm a bit confused. The photo explains a lot and offers more questions. Sorry. Are you twisting 4-5 herls from a goose flank feather around the thread? is there a wire in there? you've created a beautiful rope to wrap around the shank and the pattern looks fantastic. I like goose fibers a lot, but I'm not sure where these are located. A wing? Tail? Flank feather? It's definitely something to try to replicate, so I'm trying to understand how you did what should be obvious from the pic. The fibers (herls, barbs) look very long. Beautifully done.

Below is a #18 tied by wrapping goose flank feather fibers around the shank conventionally like you would a pheasant or turkey on a nymph pattern. You can get a great variety of fiber sizes from every part of a goose. I'm curious to use this cording or roping technique on larger sized flies.
