Favorite Material

I was tying up some caddis patterns tonight with trailing shucks and got to thinking, what is your favorite material for trailing shucks on nymphs/emergers. I am kinda fond of z-lon myself, olive for the green caddis tyed sparse and ginger for the tan and ginger caddis also tyed rather sparse. When tying brown shucks for mayfly emergers I like antron, I think it looks better when it gets wet for imitating the mayfly nymphal shucks. Just wanted to hear others preferences, always willing to try something new.

i like antron. But what i use the most is angora yarn and thin it out with velcro. Then i trim it up. I like to use this on nymphs or emergers because, it seems to be thinner this way. Also, it moves alot more and its not as stiff.

i wish i could find z lon around where i live, i hear thats the best thing to use in emerald shiner patter in olive z lon.
 
my favorite is marabou and bunny strips.
 
 
im terrible at getting dubbing to stick to my thread so i cheat and buy the premade dubbing strips. saved time but not money. but finishes better then me attempting to put dubbing on a waxed thread
