Because it is made with UV dub, which is a naturally floating synthetic, no floatant is needed. We just throw it to the area where we saw the fish rising, let it float over his head, and he took it. That began the success with this fly. The starling feather seems to wobble in the current giving the fly action.

Each swapper explains: the background for his/her fly design the method of fishing the intended quarry on what kind of water Reply: I looked for this tie on the web, couldn't find it. Does it float long without floatant? There's another Byron's midge on which he uses deer hair and foam to get it to float. Are you satisfied as to how this fly pattern is coming out? That's what matters, and too, what do the fish think?

I love it because it is very strong but doesn't add the weight that wire does. You'll not get the same results with wire..too heavy. this fly sits in the surface film and is a real trout catcher on the Hobblecreek river. This fly was tied to match some ugly black bugs that we skimmed with a nylon stocking. Joyce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
