Head Cement leaving a white residue
northernsolo replied to redfishflyer05's topic in The Fly Tying Bench
i had the same problem before, i switched to using my wife's clear nail polish for head cement it actually works great, don't ever have the heads fall apart and it looks great. -
The fly you fish with confidence

those are two great flies, i also like a hare's ear nymph, cought alot of trout on them. -
nice looking jigs

nice fly, think it would be a brown killer

well you could possibly tie a number of different flies depending on the color of the yarn you have, and if you have other materials with it. i have seen brown trout cought on a piece of red thread on a hook. chris

i have a fly shop about 5 miles from my house, only problem is she does not carry a very wide selection of tying materials, fly tying in my area has seem to become sort of a lost art. then The famous Fran Betters owns a fly shop about 25 minutes from my house, on the west branch of the ausable. there is a few other fly shops around too, but i have never ventured into them. chris

Great looking fly, love the ribs.

Grumbacher Tuffilm may cure your problem, i have never used it on marabou but have used it on hackle fibers. It is a really fine film spray they use to cover oil canvas paintings, works well for strengthening the hackle fibers on fly's i tie for bass. Just a suggestion, if you decide to try it you can get it at almost any craft store. chris

I have cought alot of bass on a olive wooly bugger, i use crystal flash on the body it seems to work alot better.
