Goats 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2013 I lost $1 on a friendly bet with my Dad (Iowa vs. U-M) and my step Mother (MSU v U-M) so I all told I owe $2. I was thinking about incoporating the $$ into a fly somehow. I was thinking for one I would make some type of epoxied crab fly out a golden dollar and then for the other I would use a bill and incorporate it into a streamer pattern somehow. I would like to tap the forum community for ideas for using the paper money in a fly. Any Ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2013 I thought US bills were cotton?? Id cut lengthwise strips and use as a body. Varnish over it before tying in rest. Or the in small wings cut from the bills like wally wings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
