Idea from this site ... I think Denduke, sorry if I got that wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I just didn't want it to go to long so I trimmed it. You get the idea though. Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 I don't know. These flies are very light for their sizes. If the "wicker basket" weave of the tubes doesn't catch too much air, I think they'll be very easy to cast to targets. I tied a couple on size 4 Aberdeen hooks.

Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 Mike, are you in Anchorage? You're only about 365 miles away from Fairbanks. You're not even in the north yet. I took your post to mean you were in Anchorage. Come on by if you get up here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 No, sorry, I was in Anchorage December of 2017. Stopped in at a place called, "The Dollar Store" if I remember correctly. Nothing was actually as low as one dollar, but ... Alaska. I bought a couple of bags of "Fat Toad" party shred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
