Went to look for some marabou earlier tonight and noticed something had decided to start eating it!
After further investigation i noticed most of my marabou at the base of the stems were white and looked like they had been stripped of feathers!
Anyone else seen this and is there anyway to get rid of the wee buggers.

Cheers,
Baz.

Bag all your feathers in polythene bags and put them in the deep freeze for a few days.

Should fix the little blighters

Sounds like its my only option anyway.
Can these wee bugs get into your fly box to? That would not be good!

Yes they can.  If you have your fly boxes out on the table next to where you are fly tying they could jump in. The freezer trick will work for the fly boxes too.

Thanks again.

Baz,

remember to defrost your flies before use

Unless you like fishing the 'Ice Buzzer'

groan!

[Barry Robertson]

Will mind that Iain thanks
 
 

They dont half make a mess once they get started !
I use to laugh when people said to freeze my stuff but now i know why!

[Iain Goolager]

Baz,

I hope it's the only time you have to get your tackle frozen to remove little critters!
