Re:Substitute Snowshoe for the Wing? 17 Years, 4 Months ago  
I do use that a lot on my stones. Frequently either that flash sheeting that I've bought in craft stores, or Krystal Flash. I like it for the flash that it brings to the wing. The inspiration came to me whie examining stoneflies streamside in Montana and realizing the wing has similar properties. It does seem to work, as this pattern has done very well for me over time in quite a number of waters. I think almost as importatnt, if not more so is the midge hackle. I can skate and move the fly tied in this fashion. Can't do that with a bullethead.
