It's a Canadian goose biot. Charlie Craven style I guess. I really like them for bodies on any "adams". It was a little challenging with the catskills fly - I had to use a little dubbing to clean up the tie off of the biot. I think it looks cool.

Currently working on copper pheasant tails. I’ve been tying flies now for about four months. I started with San Juan Worms, Zebra Midges, and Mop Flies. Now I’m trying to go through the beginner video series on YouTube from The Holtsinger’s Fly Shop. Thanks for letting me post here and tight lines!
