I wouldn't use them on any fly line. There is definitely abrasives in them. We used them to clean some walls one time, after we were done, when the light hit them right they looked like they had been...

I agree, he's got a great looking inventory, but I had a real bad experience. I won't touch em with a 10 foot pole.
Got me too
Here is another one for you. We are on Vancouver Island and we go after what we call Sea Run Cut Throat. They must fall into the mix somewhere as well.
I have to agree with the Classic. We were out on a lake on Sunday, a 16 Parachute Adams wasn't doing to bad, but when I switched to a 16 Classic Adams the fun really began. It was non stop action for...
Never forget that a diamond was once a chunk of coal that did pretty good under pressure.
I give a polish with Nu Finish polish a couple times a year. Seems to keep it cleaner and also a little extra distance. Cleaner for sure, Extra distance maybe my imagination.
Nu Finish polish on the truck, trailer and the rods. Lasts really well on all of them.
Happy Birthday! Tight lines!
Their hackles are great. I have only used their saddles but am very happy with the the quality, color and length. Pretty tough to beat.

Thanks guys,
As always on this site, you always get great responses. I think what I'll try is the washing and scrubbing trick. Get them dried out. Nuke 'em. Then put them in the zip lock. I'll keep...

Many thanks to everyone. It seems to me that whatever works for you is fine, that there are no strict rules as to how many wings, or the orientation. I have always been amazed at a shadow box full of...
I have always struggled with quill wings on wet flies. I decided that this winter I am going to really work on it and try to build a collection of quill wing wet flies for trout. I've been searching...
My wife and I fish all the time from our canoe. She chucks spoons from the bow and I fly fish from the stern. It's the only way to go.
Thanks. This site is amazing. Some very generous people involved.
Wow! Sooo much information. I have been tying my leader directly to the fly line with a nail Knot. It seems like I may be the only one. Loops of different kinds seem to be the most used, I had no...
I've maybe been doing to much reading and have gotten myself all confused. I'm relatively new to fly fishing and have been going over different articles about leaders and attaching them to the fly...
