Hareline No-Fray Winging Material

Caddis, hoppers, stoneflies, mayflies, and more. Hareline's No-Fray Winging Material lets you cut and craft wings exactly how you like. This synthetic material is translucent and has a natural sheen to it that properly imitates insect wings, and with its no-fray feature, you can cut it to the shape you want without fear of it falling apart when being fished. Available in a few natural colors, Hareline's No-Fray Winging Material takes the realism of your dry flies to the next level, and even better, this material is pliable enough to prevent your leader from twisting up.

Uses

Hareline's No-Fray Winging Material is best suited for cutting wings on dry flies. You can always cut the perfectly shaped wings with No-Fray Winging Material, whether you're imitating small mayflies, large stoneflies, hoppers, caddis, crickets, or even craneflies. Cut it however you like and tie it in; this material is ready to match the next hatch you come across.

Comparisons

River Road Speckled Wing is another synthetic that can be used almost identically to Hareline's No-Fray Winging Material. Both of these options can be cut to the exact size and shape of the wing you're after. The main difference between these two synthetics is that the No-Fray Winging Material has a solid color, whereas Speckled Wing has speckling on the wings, so depending on the insect you're imitating, one may be a more realistic choice.
