Introducing the first-ever 100% synthetic fibers designed specifically for dry flies, perfectly mimicking a variety of Mayflies found across the globe. 0% Water Absorption: On the initial backcast, any water on the fly will flick off, leaving it completely dry by the time it lands on the water. Non-Stick Material: During summer, when algae and other debris can clutter the water, cleaning your fly can be a hassle. With these synthetic fibers, you won’t have to worry about that. Natural Floating Property: This material truly floats! Extreme Durability: These synthetic fibers are far more durable than natural ones, allowing you to catch multiple fish on the same fly without any issues. Trim to Size: One of the biggest benefits, is the ability to easily trim these fibers to your preferred size. If you're fishing a specific hatch and face refusals due to fly size, simply grab your scissors, make a quick adjustment, and you can immediately return that fly to the water. This is not possible with natural materials. EP® Trigger Point Supreme are a touch thicker, denser, and stiffer than original EP® Trigger Point Fibers, this 100% synthetic fiber is perfect for dry flies size 8-12, as well as larger patterns such as Stonefly, Hoppers, Chernobyl, and Damsel. “I started working on EP® TRIGGER POINT® FIBERS in 2005. It took me about 3 years to perfect the formula, introducing them to the market in 2008. It has been the same formula since, nothing has changed. Ok one small change - in the very beginning the fibers were treated with a floatant, but I quickly learned this was totally unnecessary as the material has an incredible natural floating property! There are a number of carefully designed EP® TRIGGER POINT® FIBERS blended to match just about any flying insect, but you also have the option of blending your own individual colors for specific hatches on your local waters. They are marking-pen friendly as well for additional color variations; the possibilities are endless! The wings and body of Mayflies such as March Browns, Blue Winged Olives or the fabled Morning Dun can be matched effortlessly. The fibers are perfect to make fine and thin profile bodies, even on the smallest size 24 hook. A little playing around and you’ll quickly learn what this material is capable of. You can seriously do an entire fly with the same fiber: the tail, the body, the thorax and the wings all with EP® TRIGGER POINT® FIBERS. You don’t need to spend a lot of money buying a ton of different products to make a fly (we all know quality dry hackle is not cheap). But, if you do want to dress up the fly to further match the hatch, a little synthetic dubbing on the thorax area is a nice touch!” -Enrico
