Guy wanted the dressings of these flies I did a while back and the 'Flashabou' type stuff I used on the cheeks came out a packet that lost the label years ago. Anyone recognise it? It's got a kink every couple of mm that creates nice flashy facets giving a segmented appearance. It's tranluscent pearly orange, though probably other colours available - and in the water it transmits the colour of the material behind it. Nice stuff actually .
