    And this stuff is good for legs...rubbery. And there is Glo in the Dark in it

    Please check your own state's fishing regs before using glo in the dark flies. I am not sure they are legal in all states.

    If it is that dark, I should be taking a nap!

    Really, I have never heard or even thought about that. Any example as to states.
    We have Walleye, that Glow in the Dark anything is a must, nothing like the Great Lakes though.

    Can't you buy some glow in the dark stuff and dip the leg tips in it?

    Not sure, I seem to recall reading it in regulations booklets somewhere in my travels, however. Better to check than not, tho, wouldn't you think?

    BTW, a lot of those luminescent products don't work so well in cold water. The glow fades much faster than at room temp. I have used the glow Palsa strike indicators, and they pretty much don't work at all at 0 dark 30 in the morning on the Juan in the winter.

    Interesting...I wonder why?

    I tried to make a firefly fly once, perhaps you should try it, but replace the yellow foam with the glow foam? The legs on them don't glow so don't worry about that.
