Been playing with turkey biots recently and pleasantly surprised at how versatile they are. Need to say a big thankyou to Gareth Lewis for his post on tying with biots as it seriously helped me! To read his article the link is below.
A Tip For Tying With Biots | Fly Fishing in South Wales
Anyway here are my efforts, not in the same league as his but I am relatively happy with them, any criticisms or suggestions? How many of you tie with turkey biots and what sort of flies do you use them for?
Olive paradun, probably the messiest fly i tied today but it floats really well in the glass of water test and i like the effect on the abdomen so thought i would share.
Tying the biot in the other way round results in the heavily segmented body seen in this CDC dun, not sure which i prefer?!
really liked the effect it created on the bodies above so decided to whack it on a buzzer. Was happy with the effect, the biots seemed to glow in the bright sunlight.
