	Partridge Partridge is one of the more suggestive feathers to use on small nymphs because it moves and breathes when retrieved. I use it for my A.P. Emerger or you can use it for any soft-hackled fly. I would recommend buying it on the cape instead of packaged to avoid waste. Undyed only. $39.95 qty
	Deer Tails Deer hair from a deer tail makes a perfectly silhouetted wing on streamer patterns. It's a good substitute if you don't have polar bear hair and can be accented by using more than one color. Just keep it sparse. Create your own color patterns especially using orange or some red in the wing. Remember, size is more important than color on minnow patterns. $6.50 1. White 2. Yellow 3. Lavender 4. Orange 5. Green 6. Red Color Options qty
	Squirrel Tails Squirrel tails make excellent wings on minnow patterns. Both the gray and fox tail colors enhance any minnow style fly. I use both these colors on my Fox Tail Streamers and let the trout decide if they will react to the pattern. So far, the results have been excellent. Be careful not to bulk up the wings when using a squirrel tail. Any fly is better when you keep tails, wings and bodies on the sparse side. $6.50 1. Grey 2. Fox qty
	Polar Dub ← Click on image to enlarge individual colors This material is a close match for polar bear underfur and can be used for the bodies of any small nymph, bugger or leech patters.

Burnt Orange 9. Burgundy 10. Hot Orange 11. Purple 12. Rust 13. White Color Options qty
	Mohair Hair For suggestive flies, mohair spun is easy to apply by just winding it on the hood.

	Ice Dubbing ← Click on image to enlarge individual colors Ice Dubbing is a synthetic dubbing used as an attractor to mix with any natural animal body hair for the bodies of nymphs.

	Holo Bright Holo Bright is another flashy synthetic material I discovered from a small fly tying materials company in Oregon. It became an instant hit when I used it for the thorax of my Stillwater Bug. Whether trout eat that fly because of this material’s attraction, or because of some other feature, I just know it attracts fish. Holo Bright comes in 5 colors and I think you will like the results this material brings to your fly tying creativeness. $3.95 1. Orange (Goldfish) 2. Purple 3. Olive 4. Bronze 5. Silver 6.

	Hare's Ear Dubbing ← Click on image to enlarge individual colors Hare's Ear Dubbing is probably the number one dubbing material tiers use for their nymphs including the pupa and larva imitations. Suggestive, life-like, durable, easy to use, it has all the ingredients you need to imitate a mayfly, caddis, midge or damsel imitation. Here are eight colors for you to choose between that will match the sub-surface nymphs you plan to tie. This is the product I've found that makes my fly look the natural.

	Holographic Flashabou Holographic Flashabou isn’t new, but it’s new on my flies. It adds flash and is an attractor especially during periods of low or no sunlight and in nutrient or off colored water. I don’t find it a good idea to use on small nymphs, however, it is a nice addition to the tails or wings of bugger style flies, leeches and minnow type patterns. $4.25 1. Gold 2. Silver 3. Black 4. Fuchsia Color Options qty
	UV Enhancer Flash ← Click on image to enlarge individual colors Finally, a flashabou with UV mixed in.

	Angel Hair This is a fine cut flashabou type material that breathes and moves in a suggestive manner when retrieved. I prefer to top my flies with this material for added flash and appeal. This material has a high sheen appearance and can be seen at long distances beneath the surface even under low light conditions. $3.95 Color Options 1. Rusty Olive 2. Peacock 3. Light Olive 4. Gold Holo 5. Burgundy 6. Steelhead Ice (Lavender) 7. Rainbow 8. Pearl Green 9. Purple 10. Brown Olive 11. PMD(rust) 12. Black & Red 13. Root Beer 14. Christmas Tree 15. Blue Ice 16. Pearl Purple (UV) 17. Polar Ice (Silver & Green) qty
	Midge Rainbow Flash This is a mini-sized crystal flash that I feel is more suggestive. Because of its smaller diameter, it breathes and pulsates more than the larger diameter crystal flash. I prefer to use it to accent my minnow patterns either in color tone or as an attractor. Usually 10-12 strands is enough to create a definite color segmentation or mix with other colors to get the reflection you want. You can add to or mix it on top with any hair or marabou color. I can tell you this, the trout seem to like it. $3.95 Color Options 1. Root Beer 2. Dark Olive 3. Golden Olive 4. Peacock Black 5. Pearlescent 6. Purple 7. Light Orange 8. Hot Orange 9. Red 10. Pink 11. Light Blue 12. Blue 13. UV Pearlescent qty
	Peacock Herl Peacock herl may be the best body material ever used for trout flies. There is something about it that fish love. It certainly looks buggy and trout almost seem like they are attracted to it. I find it critical for my A.P. Emerger, Callibaetis Nymphs and Stillwater Nymphs. Three or four strands is about all you need to form a body that looks realistic or similar to the natural’s body. These packs come strung which makes it easy to pull what you need without breaking the stems. $4.95 Sm - $6.50 Lg Select a Size Small - $4.95 Large - $6.50 qty
	Dyed Mallard ← Click on image to enlarge individual colors These are excellent colors dyed by Jay Fair. I use them for my callibaetis and A.P. emerger nymphs. $4.95 1. Wood Duck 2. Golden Olive 3. Dark Olive 4. Golden Yellow 5. Brownish Olive 6. Yellow 7. Natural 8. Tan 9. Olive Color Options qty
	Moose Hair I use moose hair for tails on my A.P. Emerger and Diamond patterns. Use a hair stacker so all the ends are even. Moose hair in dark brown or black make good looking tails on any aquatic insect pattern. Keep it sparse, 8-10 strands. $4.25 qty
	Rabbit Strips I think every fly fisherman knows big trout eat forage fish (minnows) and small trout. Regardless of whether you fish streams or lakes, you need an assortment of highly suggestive minnow patterns. Rabbit strips tied over the top of the bodies of minnow patterns gives you a realistic, moveable wing material that works. The zonker is the best example of this style of pattern that I know of. These strips come in a variety of colors with varigated tops to match the tyers imaginiation. $3.95 1. Yellow/Brown 2. Sculpin/Brown 3. Olive/Black 4. Tan/Black 5. Chartreuse/Black 6. Fire/Tiger 7. White/Black 8. Orange/Black Color Options qty
	Skinny Skin This is what I use for the backs of the Callibaetis Nymphs and/or Stillwater Nymphs. The shinny back matches the transformation stage of aquatic insects as they molt from larva to pupae to adult. It makes your fly pattern more durable and realistic in appearance. $3.95 1. Black 2. Olive 3. Tan 4. Mottled Gold 5. Mottled Olive 6. Mottled Orange 7. Mottled Brown 8. Mottled Yellow Color Options qty
	Flashabou Minnow Body This material is the standard for the bodies of most minnow style flies. I use it for my Shiner and Chub Minnows. Be sure to wet the book shank with head cement before placing the tubing over the hook shank. Then press the sides of the body together with your fingers. $3.75 1. Pearlescent 2. Gold 3. Silver Color Options qty
	Danville's Pre-waxed 6/0 thread I use this thread for all my flies since I started tying flies over 40 years ago, regardless of pattern or size. I use black for any weighted fly, olive for all unweighted flies and red or yellow when I want the head to match the insect. It's also an attraction thing. $4.50 1. Black 2. Yellow 3. Olive 4. Red Color Options qty
	Wire This is the wire I use on all my nymphs. It is small diameter and does not tarnish over time. Use it to rib your flies such as chironomids or any small numph $4.50 1. Copper 2. Gold 2. Red 4. Silver qty
	Lead Wire This wire comes in two sizes, .020 for my large suggestive flies like the Seal Bugger, Stillwater Bug or Leech patterns. For the small flies that I weight, I use the .015. I use mostly twenty turns on the .020 and anywhere from twelve to fifteen turns for the smaller flies. You may need to use less turns relative to the size of the fly you are tying. Easy to use and breaks with cutting. $4.95 .015 .020 Size Options qty
