Thank you, the presentation was excellent. Sometimes it is hard to find good info on the net, but you hit it on the head! I look forward to tying this fly. Charlie
I'm fishing in South Texas on the Laguna Madre. I've tied gurglers with estaz, marabou, rabbit strips and I'm sure there are even more materials that will work. I like the hackle for fishing under lights at night. On the flats for trout or snook I think a flashy estaz is probably a good idea.
@fnpbr hackle helps the fly to ride higher in the water and to come to a stop faster after you strip. Also, estaz can hold water and make the fly heavy, however, estaz works fine and as a trade of can give the fly a bit more bulk on larger flies for say, tarpon or barrramundi here in australia. hope this helped.
