Hi Guys-
I made a few Stimulators last weekend and I'm having trouble getting them to float if they get a little wet. They're only good for one cast in a flat pool. Forget about any riffles.
I tried powder and gel floatants. I'm thinking it must be my materials.
I used medium dry fly hackle, "deer body" for the wings and tail, and poly fiber for the body. The hook is a #14.
Also my heads on dries are always crowded and messy.
Any ideas on where I went wrong?
