Have any of you folks ever tried "pretreating" your dubbing , etc. while tying a dryfly rather than wait and add the floatant onstream? I'm gonna try this the next time i tie but thought maybe one or three of yinz might have tried this already???
 
I use jacks stuff after each fly i tie, let it dry and fly is permanently water proof.
 
Somehow Sand that doesn't sound quite right. Is this jacks stuff the name of the stuff or is it just a friend named jack n you use his stuff?
 
Convinced it doesn't work.
 
i have loon hydrostop it works okay but once it gets slimed a few times you have to hit it with frogs fanny
 
osprey,
name of the product. he only makes a small batch every year, i get like 12 bottles a year..
 
Sand i only logged in here to make sure i knew what you were talkin about , i must admit , you had me good there for a minute. I'm gonna try it with that Loon Aquel i think is the name or maybe i'll just use somebody elses stuff. is there any of jacks stuff available up there in the meadow?
