Most traditional tyers shy away from synthetics because they all like a sense of tradition – nothing wrong in that. But as more and more animals, birds etc enter the endangered lists tying with these materials become more politically difficult and impossible to obtain. Then of course we have the Edwin’s of this world that pop up from time to time that encourage the anti’s.
Even the humble “cluck cluck” becomes suddenly out of reach due to fashion and business. So we are left with synthetic materials to maybe look to the future. These have been creeping into fly tying circles over the last few decades and look as if will become even more popular to use over future years due to availability, price and evolvement.
