Does anyone know what the green material is in this fly? I would like to find out what it is, it looks very flashy and eye catching...
Anyone know what material this is?

Looks like cactus chenile or XL estaz, though I could be wrong.

It is Estaz. A really close up shot of it...

Looking at the bears dens synthetics page there are several things that resemble it but couldn't find an exact color match myself. here's the page- http://www.bearsden.com/page107.html |

I think tuckaloe has the body material identified but, it looks like the tailing material is something different.
Hard to tell from the picture. Waynebh |

A very effective fly, I tie this one as an imitation of a curly tail soft plastic grub. Tail is marabou and body is Estaz with a brass cone head. It's a
killer on smallies and rock bass when they're feeling aggressive and will do a number on panfish, too. The fly in the pic is tied on a size 8 3xl hook,
btw.

Thank you sir! I saved the image for later and could not remember which board I found it on. Looks like I will be tying a few up to try...
