Hi Davie,
Just wondering, where can I get turkey biot for my CDC klinkhamer bodies? I can’t find it on ebay or in the GAC catalogue and your pattern looks the best!
Thanks, Paul
whot a belter of a fly davie, like the way you prepare the foam body, sits a lot better on the hook by the looks of it, will tie a few up and see what they turn out like, regards, and happy wrappings, davey, antrim.

Hi Chance,
The blocks are sold by a company called Veniards who are a wholesaler and supply many of the tackle shops with their materials…
Glad you liked the fly..
All the best Davie

Hi Pablo,
I would normally use a fine varnish but since I got the Bug-Bond I found it much quicker but use what you like…
All the best Davie

Hi Davie
That is a great looking fly. Were do you get you foam that thick or what is it called?
And that is a great trick with the bug bond.
Thanks for the Great Videos
