ctious 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 citious- what did you do to the deer hair head? is that full of glue or did you put heat top it and singe the hairs? its coated with fabric fusion... its a water based glue that is waterproof when dry.. (same stuff as liquid fusion).. i coated them for 2 reasons... one to make them more durable being we are dealing with musky.. second was to make the face of the fly.. it will not deform or flex against the water... allows it to push more water...

Hmmm I'll have to look for it. I buy mine at the craft store...it is much cheaper there than buying from a fly shop.... I forget the size bottle it is in...but I'm still on my first bottle, it has lasted me a while... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheYiman 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 While lots of the fishing I do is wade fishing, I do all my Musky fishing from a canoe or frame-raft. Sorry, never thrown for them from shore. I think as long as you do not fish too deep, you should be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think as long as you do not fish too deep, you should be fine. All my musky fishing is from the bank well wading. Mainly in rivers and tailouts from dams. Casting gets tricky when your almost chest deep in a river and thowing a heavy sinking line. You guys ever get another musky swap together consider me in.
