A cool fly, really like the softex abdomen. It looks so life like!

How does the medaillon wing cast? When I tried these a while back they spun like an airplane propeller and made terrible things out of my tippet (I was using about 1.5 metre of 0.10 mm mono, a rather fine stuff), so I converted to CDC; I would be curious to hear your experience.

Medallion wing is really a problem.

I usually have 3 options:

1)Use a smaller fly with the same tippet

2)Change the mono for a "fatter" (from a 0,10 to 0,12)

3)If i don´t have a smaller fly i reduce the tippet lenght

Very very important is reduce the "false casts" when fishing.

When the problem continue (airplane propeller), i cast 2-3 times and i revise the tippet, i try to "destroy"(?) the propeller applying heat with my fingers or with a rubber to the tippet.

I prefer to do it instead of tying wing with CDC, i don´t like them when wet, they become much smaller.

 

Excuseme for my poor english.

Thanks

Your Inglés is much better than my Spanish, trust me. I tried it on http://www.anapam.org/ and even though they have inspiring patterns there I had hard time understanding them :thumbsup:

 

Your experience with medaillon is about the same as mine; and I thought I was special in this respect :lol2:

 

Cheers! :yahoo:
