    What sort of flies could I tie with the hair from a calfs tail.
    Let's just say there's a few calfs running around cork without tails!
    :o

    Once dyed it makes nice wings for salmon flies.

    Tried tying some USD patterns too but wondering about the hook up success with these type of flies, anyone else ever use them?

    Looks like a CDC tying of the funnel dun - haven't used them myself but I've tied a few and they're kind of fiddly. Seems like hook-up rate would be lower with the hook riding upside down like that but the only way to tell that for sure is to get them wet!:D
    What are the tails made of?

    I use microfibbets usually coloured with a pantone for the tail for my smaller mayflies, and when I say microfibbets i mean a paintbrush. You can buy a cheap paintbrush for 2 or 3 euros and if you shop around you'll get perfectly tapered tails and you have a couple of years supply of tails in one brush! :D
