Turn a nymph into a dry fly i was fishing last week with a hare's ear nymph it was a new fly never used it before. Like all flys on the first cast they float on top with them not been water logged or whatever you want to call it. First cast got a take landded the fish second cast was still floating on top landded another fish. After the second fish the nymph finally done what it was ment to do sink was getting nothing so i covered it with gink . Cought another 2 fish after that it wouldnt float no more not even with more gink so after fishing i went and bought some hare's ear dry fly. Whent fishing yesterday put the hare's ear dry fly on got nothing so i said the hell with it put the hare's ear nymph on bang got a take. Cought 2 fish with it yesterday but after started to sink so is there anything that i could coat the fly in to make it float permanently. And does any one know why the fish wouldnt take the dry fly but would take a nymph on top lol.
Was fishing for rainbows
