There is a great tradition here in Spain ...Hi all!<br /><br />There is a great tradition here in Spain to use Gütermann natural silk for tying our traditional spanish wet flies, and we use these silk to tie dry flies too. <br /><br />So the color chart had about one thousand different colors twenty years ago, and there are very rare colors with a halo of mysticism around them, like Chadwick's 477.<br /><br />Nowdays some of these colors are impossible to get, so we use Gütermann Sulky as a substitute (also Madeira rayon and others). If you can get Sulky and you like this material I would like to recommend you some colors: 1025, 1055, 1104, 1149, 1156, 1159, 1212, 1227, 1228, 1128, 1270, 1313, 1508 (for dries, wets and nymphs).<br /><br />Enjoy!!
