This Is a fly looks even better in the water the DNA shimmers as the fly swims. It is also very easy to tie. This is far eisier than the original version with bucktail.It is also more durable than the traditional tying . You can blend the Holofusion with the Frosty Fibres if you want to create different effects. Try three colours in a fly perhaps try Polar White , Grey and Smoke. This looks great
