Fly Tying

mirrored material indicator

Recommended Posts

I live in Mongolia and besides having TONS of bad ass fur and natural materials to play around with while tying, I often have to poke around and improvise for other things such as foam, flash, hopper legs etc.

 

Recently I picked up a camping sleeping mat and have been using it for hoppers and foam mice. One side (as you can see) is covered in the reflective materials used for space blankets... what do people think about leaving this stuff on as an indicator OR turning around for more aggressive fish....?

 

Thoughts? Ideas?

We use mylar as bodies on minnow patterns, and also tinsel in various colors....I don't see why a reflective surface would hurt a dry fly as well as making it more visible to the fisherfolk..
