Kimo 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 I also use UV Knot Sense for my wing cases. I make sure that it goes from the bead all the way to where the wing case meets the abdomen. Less peeling off that way. Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ten Bears 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2007 John Barr, the originator of the Copper John, uses a strip of Thin Skin for the wingcase with a single strand of pearl Flashabou pulled up over the center. After the head is tyed off the wingcase is covered over with epoxy. Ditto... What? Even a dry fly purist drops a nymph now and then... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
