    Smile Waterproofing dry flies

    In discussing the treatment of dries the comment was made about using Rain-X windshield treatment. A this point a suggestion was to go ll the way and use WD-40 aerosol that is a superior water displacing material. That's what the "W-D" stands for.
    Has anyone tried this ?

    I just tried it. Flies sink like a stone !!! Ray
