Wire has to be the Greatest body material ever! I have even started using it in my intruder/hobo type flies. ClickHere to see how its tied. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks pretty good there Nate. Just wondering way you cut the end off. What size shank you using?

I'm guessing cutting the loop off makes it easier to put the bead on? I've done the same until I started using a different style shank that doesn't have a loop. I like the looks of that ice chenille. I'll have to look for that next time I'm at the local shop.
