SBPatt 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks. The stuff is supposedly somewhat hydrophobic, which should help, but I’ll dose it with a shh.tload of floatant. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His idea was intriguing so I sat down and looked at refining the design. The foam body doubles as the floatation and also a weedguard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The goal of this variant is to have the main body of the fly just below the surface, but with a floating head that gives a bit of pop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarrellP 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2021 Thanks Niveker. We need more Steelhead to return. I probably should focus on trout. I have caught more species on a Wooly worm than any other pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
