Has anybody tried this? Im flying out to Montana in 3 weeks for the first time and I'm trying to tie as many different patterns as possible. The only good dry fly hackle i have is a whiting half cape thats white. I have a prismacolor marker in a color called cool gray(basically just a medium dun color), and it works well, but they're expensive and I'm just wondering if i could get by for the trip only using sharpies, as i have several colors. I've tried a brown sharpie, and it worked okay, but I'm not sure if it will come off after its been wet awhile, or will come off after being in my box awhile. the last thing i want to have happen is having a few dozen drys turn white, so I'm just wondering if anybody has tried this.
thanks,
Evan
