Buzz,

It's a TMC 101 #14. Good hooks - straight eye and long shank.

My other choice would be TMC 103BL. This is my preffered choice for smaller sizes of dun - usually a #17 or #19, but good in all sizes

All,
I use these type of tails and they are what is in the fly mrtrout caught his first fish of the season on.
Maybe I have lived too long in Yorkshire but I don't buy microfibbets anymore. I go down to B&Q to the painting section, buy a paint brush for 3.95 that has the same fibres. ou will get a lifetime supply. Look for the brush that has a clear tip to it. You will find that these are clear and ca be coloured up. Under them though are some wonderful dark shorter fibres.
Happy tying.
