All the flies posted are an excellent example of why its called "the art of fly fishing".

This is sort of an odd thing to ask to the men and women that are busy at the vice.

I have a hairdresser neice that saved me a few nice long ponytails from people that got their long hair cut. I always thought human hair would make good sinking flies or streamers.

My questions is: Have any of you fly makers experimented with human hair flies or streamers?

I am willing to donate 3 or 4 ponytails to someone interested in trying tying. Might make some kind of dubbing too, maybe? I'm thinking they could be dyed different colors easily too.
