Don says these are the type of silk body material he uses for soft hackle flies in order of priority: 1. Uni-floss 1X 2. Danville's flat wax nylon 3. Unistretch 1X (while this material does not have the sheen of silk, it is awesome for making wet flies, since it can be spun to create a segmented abdomen or counter-spun to create a flat abdomen) 4. Monobond (tends to be to bulky for tying smaller patterns)

@@PotomacValleyFlyFishers thank you

Thanks! Appreciate your feedback and totally understand what you're saying, but please know our equipment is very limited to capture these videos (we only have an iPhone!). Our main goal in creating these for our fishing club was to provide a way to continue fly tying instruction even though we haven't been able to meet in person for over a year.
