Been using the red on Royal Coachman...works great...size 18 to 14....
Good idea. I have spools in a few colors.
I use it mostly for woven flies.

Nice ties Byron. That Crackleback, I have a bunch of them I tied a few yrs. back. Never taken a fish on one yet. I've tried.
Maybe it's me but I know how to handle a line on the drift. A friend on another forum swears by them, so, I gave them a good try. Nada!!
You give me a tad more curiosity to try again this spring. If not then they go in the garbage...
Jeremy,
I would keep a few handy. I think when Caddis are hatching, or around the water, they may work. The stripping retrieve, as I mentioned, has worked in the past anyway....for me.
I used to fish Bennett Spring in Missouri, and a lady I know who has/had a shop there swears by them!!
When I saw her fishing, I would ask what she was using. Almost always was a crackleback in late afternoon/early evening.
