dryfly purist 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2012 This summer i made lots of mayflies with fibers from a dust broom. This broom holds about 10000000 wings for mayflies and cost almost nothing The price is about 2 dollars or so...... i used the blue fibers for most of my mayfly imitations and it is just great. The yellow fibers is great for the yellow mayfly and the pink fibers i use for wings in emergers. The blue wing is so visible on the water and the trout did not mind the blue color at all :-) It also is almost totally water repellent so why use expensive materials when you can get material almost for free Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2012 dryfly purist, thanks for posting this one. I have the exact same duster that I picked up a while back but wasn't sure what I wanted to try with it. Mine is still in its plastic sleeve and has never been touched but I won't be able to say that this evening. I was thinking of trying it for streamer wings when I purchased it, but you have given me a much better idea. Thanks again and Take Care, Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
