Floss Fury

Recommended Posts

does it have a "flowing'' action as it appears it would? Would be deadly on the big gills in Bluegrass farm ponds!

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.

leeches, eh? Sounds like a great idea for leeches! Have you ever used floss in the tails of other flies, say, buggers?

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.
