I have an extra skin but don't want to dye it unless I know what I'm doing. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2021 I use sharpies to color just about everything. It’s not permanent though as it will wash away if your fly lasts long enough. I find that as the fly gets beaten and battered by fish the color washing off don’t seem to shut the fish down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
