FLYMPH FORUM

(especially small fish, for some reason...perhaps their teeth are sharper than on larger fish).

Thanks for elaborating....I've stood in one spot and caught a dozen "creel-sized" fish out of the same plunge pool, so I might have to save the full silk treatment for special occasions.

Jon - Another option may be a small drop of Loon's product called "UV Knot Sense". You could add a little drop on the silk, spread it around evenly and then expose the fly to a UV light source (i.e. - the sun, or one of Loon's small UV lamps). Worth trying anyways...

PS - Don't tell anyone about that spot...

Thanks...the Loon might be worth trying; as for my spot, I think it's pretty safe:


It's about eight miles from the trailhead, and my buddies here tend to thin out the riff-raff.

Them's good eats......when they strike, you just gotta catch 'em right under the head and cut it off QUICK! No biggie.
You GOTTA put that one in the book Ray.....

I'm coming to this one late, but this is something I could fill my box with. (in case you're wondering what to get me for christmas. ) That hackel looks really rich. It's a nice combination and as always a nice effect on the body.

Ray I was looking at this pic again. I was admiring the tag because I love anything copper but when I read the recipe it reads gold mylar. Maybe it's just my screen. Anyway it looks great with copper.

Vicki - I need to look at the fly again when I get home. You are probably right. I have a spool of tinsel that is copper color on one side and blue on the other. I may have used that to create this fly. Good eyes! Thanks for keeping me honest.

CB,

I see you have the same honey hole watch snakes I have. Nothing like the sound of a buzz tail to keep the riff raff at bay.

Mine too. crawling with aggressive venomous snakes, year around. You wouldn't like my waters anyway...best just avoid them all together.

Vicki - I checked last night and confirmed that the tinsel color is copper, not gold. You were correct! Good eyes.
