Darin,
I tie my Clousers with craft fur and started using it for streamer tails. It fouls less and its a lot more durable than maribou. You can also mix with flash, but I add barring with permanent markers. (It's very faint in the pic, but shows up well when wet.)
Regards,
Rey

Thanks!
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

That's a nice box Darrin,
And that Bluegill is chunky! Man what fun they are when they're on the bite! Light gear and you're good to go!
