BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 does it have a "flowing'' action as it appears it would? Would be deadly on the big gills in Bluegrass farm ponds! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navigator37 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2009 It does have a flowing action depending on how long the wing is. I'm sure that action in black floss would make a great leech imitation but I haven't tried it yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2009 leeches, eh? Sounds like a great idea for leeches! Have you ever used floss in the tails of other flies, say, buggers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navigator37 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2009 I haven't used it on anything except simple small streamers. I'll try a leech imitation with it sometime soon. Gotta brainstorm that one. Might work well on buggers too. Take three or four strands of floss, place it on your knee and comb it together and out with a mustache comb or toothbrush. When it's combed out, it's very soft and supple. I'm sure it would work well for the tail on a bugger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
