The Roman Moser plastic Raffia Sheeting is very strong, almost impossible to tear crosswise, but can be easily separated lengthwise. Always cut out the required amount with scissors, don’t tear it! By twisting your prepared raffia strip in the middle you will find it a lot easier to tie in place. Fix it with figure-8 wraps behind the eye in the spent position, and then pull backward and wrap the base, tent shaped for sedge wings or flat for spinner wings or standing up for mayfly wings. You can also use this material for nymph wing cases on stone flies or the backs on your scuds and Czech nymphs. You can colour or make mottled patterns using permanent markers.
