Ok Iain

I will take the bait (pardon the pun)

Does it catch fish?

[Noel Kelly]

Yes, they were jumping into the boat after one today. As I recall a determined or very hungry one escaped with it...

[Iain Goolager]

And how about a Heather Fly

is that peacock glister or simmilar under the foam

It is peacock glister Baz  I really like the effect it gives and use it quite a bit on Klink thoraxes (or is thori?)

Iain

[Sandy Nelson]

(or is thori?)

Sandy

[Iain Goolager]

 

so would the aerowing post be a thight for thori?

Iain

[Barry Robertson]

Aerowing is mince Iain, cant believe you persuaded me into buying 2 packets of that rubbish!
I just cant get it to work for me 

[Iain Goolager]

Aerowing is mince Iain

  what!? what floatant you using Thelma? It needs to be treated but is unsinkable in my opinion

I'll easily take the mince off of your hands. (much cheapness)

I'll second that too.  Aerowing seems to float much better than any of the other stuff like that I've tried.

[John Reid]

[Barry Robertson]

Iam now a cdc feind!
last couple of months dries have been doing well for me and cdc with some veniards cdc oil appplied to it un sinkable!
Best find for me this season was the cdc oil, sounds like a gimick but it makes a huge difference! 

[Sandy Nelson]

Baz, for the record, i prefer CDC as well

[Hamish Young]

I'm a convert to aero-wing, although 'ducks arse flees' -  that really needs to be said in a Yorkshire accent, guy I used to tie flies for couldn't pronounce Cul De Canard kence 'ducks arse' - still feature in my river box.

Never heard of CDC oil, I wonder how they get that

[Jim Eddie]

Preen glands I would guess Hamish

 

Jim

[Iain Goolager]

Ethel,

I almost bought CDC Oil ages ago but was dubious as to it's ability to really prevent me from having to 'primp' a CDC fly often.

I will give it a go  as I do miss fishing certain CDC flies but on the river when the vegetation is omnipotent and collossal I hate having to regularly strip in all the line to treat the leader or fly as it always velcros' itself to said nuisance

[Mike Barrio]

Just netted one of my ducks and tried wringing it out, ended up with a bit of water in the bottom of the bucket but no signs of any oil and the mallard seemed a tad unhappy?

Best wishes
Mike

No harm was done to any animals in this experiment!      

[Iain Goolager]

Mike, did you try it with a girl duck - it might be you're trying to milk a bull 

Iain

[Iain Goolager]

[Mike Barrio]

Nice one Iain ..... fancy doing a step by step for us sometime? I like the look of that tying style

Cheers
Mike

[Iain Goolager]

Hi Mike, I took some other photos last night but as I tried it with the camera on a tripod in fron tof me as I tied I wasn't too happy with the results............It will be done tonight.

Iain
