Thanks for the ideas Rick. I think that this would be a good idea to fish cabbage weed or something that is a better quality lake weed. But this stuff is that green slime that just covers the whole fly. I think that I just need to put up with this slime removal after EVERY cast or find the fish on a different spot. But like I said earlier, it's hard to leave good sized panfish that are biting for maybe finding fish at another spot. Total agreement with Rwar: "My rule of thumb is not to leave feeding fish to find feeding fish."
