fshng2 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 IMG_1702.JPG #12 Hi float dry GC59 what are you using for the wings? Similar to Hi-Float Fiber from FTD? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC59 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 fshng2 you are correct Hi-float fiber, but not for the wings, actually it replaces the hackle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng2 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 GC59 are you mixing it with purple fibers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng2 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 GC59 fresh off vise with generous amounts of Hi-float fiber. They should float like a cork and wear like iron. Mayfly: #14 Tail/Wings: HFF light dun. Dragon Fly: #12 3x lg Tail/Wings: HFF tan with 2 strands furled into tail with acrylic fiber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC59 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 Those are great fshng2, oh one thing you forgot they will catch fish too. No purple fibers, I have a couple packages of dun fibers where the dye is a little off (more purple than dun) but I use them anyways, I have got plenty with the dun color spot on. Again good job on those flyes, and I will ty some up just like them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
