Re: Soft hackle flies - Pearsall's Gossamer
Wayneb,
What l mean is that there is not a alternative that is exactly the same as Peasalls, but there are other options of different materials that differ.
let me put it this way.
A natural black hen neck would differ from a dyed black neck.
By the same token natural crow wing quill cannot be substituted by dying gray mallard wing quills black, all be it would produce a black with for the fly.
The natural and dyed material would differ when underwater.
Hope l answered this for you.
Davy.
