Patriot 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2017 @JoeBillingsley Thanks for the link to the BOC video. It was very informative. I had to laugh when you mentioned horse hair because I had a horse hair brush not two feet behind my chair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murkar 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2017 I wonder how sturdy those legs in the original picture at the top are. I get the sense that unless they're glued, those would flatten out? I'd be more inclined to try knotting as others have suggested just for my own peace of mind in knowing it wouldn't be flat by the time it's in the fly box Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
