Default Freckle Flash...??

In this months Total FlyFisher magazine there are some Boobies tied with Freckle Flash. Does anybody know where I can get this stuff. Looks like hanks of Holographic. Probably is, but just given a fancy name!

Thanks in advance.

a google search reveals several sellers, including carillon, celtic flycraft, the essential fly, yorkshire game angling....

Is made by Lureflash and is available in gold or silver, has a black mottled effect over the gold and silver, it was popular in the late 90's with the leven regulars for the wings on their Dunkeld sparklers.

Here are a couple of patterns incorporating freckle flash in the wing that have proved their worth for ten years or more.As Gerry says,these were very popular on Loch Leven,especially tied on doubles.

Gerry, "Lureflash" DON'T make it, They wholesale(d) & retail(ed) it.

I have exactly the same stuff (except it has a supporting strand incorporated), I call it marble flash. Much easie rto work with that the normal freckle flash as it does not stick together anywhere near as bad. But both work in the water just the same
