An acquaintance is the master of "guide flies" -- easy, cheap and fast to tie, and the heck with aesthetics. Oh, yes, and fish have to like 'em.
He simply wraps on wool yarn using the occasional thread wrap as reinforcement.
Another alternative to try is marabou which dubs nicely, if you haven't tried it. When I tie wooly buggers I sometimes save stripped fibers from the tail as dubbing. Waste not, want not.
