We have the pleasure to offer you one of the best fly tying material used in tying nymphs Catgut Biothread. This fantastic fly tying material has an opacity aspect when is dry and when gets wet become milky translucent. When is dry the material is stiff and a little bit difficult to work with so we recommend to be used wet.
For that, you should keepthe material for 3-5min in warm water only the part that you want to use. The color will change from the opaque to milky transparent.
If is used different threads in different colors the nymph will have shades in the under body color.
It is a magic material and is absolutely fabulous for making bodies for nymphs and emergers.

Grazie! (Posted on 1/24/2018)- I love catgut Review by Andrea
Hi guys,Rating
here is my feedback about this material. I used it for different nymphs all my Summer. I had interesting results, sometimes I had days with huge success and other with zero attacks . I'm impressed about how this material looks when is wet. I catch fish where others not. Overall I like it more is better than latex or nymph skin. Is durable and is not affected by sun light. I tied a few jigs this Autumn and I had a few nice marmorata on them. I like it and I want to tie more flies with this material because became one of my favorite :) (Posted on 11/8/2017)- very nice material Review by Pablo
