    The colors you achieved are great!!! Should be lots of fun tying with them! Will the colors hold (not wash out)when fished?
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Now HRH, if you as a lady don't know that answer, how do you expect a guy to know. I know "She who must be obeyed" has her hair touched up periodically.

    Fatman,

    Very nice dyeing. Our grocery store had Green Apple Koolaid and I bought 5 packs. Can't wait to dye up some grizzly hackle for green drake/flav hatches this summer.

    Regards,
    Scott

    The ones I dyed with RIT according to their site shouldn't have any fading problems. If I followed everything right with the KoolAid I hope it holds but will probably lose them before I can find out!!LOL Either way it's alot cheaper than the small bags I was buying.
