Playing around with foam

[Melvinp]

I would do away with the uv resin and powder coat. Stick to more synthetics for the color to make it glo. Krystal flash maybe.

I’m going to shy away from using epoxy on the smaller stuff but not the big let’s say size 2 and up it does add weight but the finish is hard to beat

I just saw a similar pattern tied with a mono tied trailer hook might be a killer idea but I’m thinking no shank just tied foam for the body using the trailer hook line as a attachment point

Floats and doesn't sink. Think HD would like this one.

I went the other way and thought longer shank and cover it with foam.

About how big is one. Plus whats the two furry ones in the middle.

 

[Nappy]

size 10 and 1 inch long. Thr two in the middle are size 10 called the Usual

 

[Nappy]

The Usual is a cool dry fly it is made from the fur off of a snow shoe hares foot very water proof

Good to know I’ll have to try it. Looks like it will be a good waterproof dubbing.

That's awesome, looks very similar to the spent wing version of a white fly

You guys are doing this up big time, want another project?
The sulphurs are another Susquehanna River staple, smaller than the white fly but around most of the summer in the evening.

No thank you I don't need more projects haha. I'm guessing it's gotta float to.

Can't believe it still floats with the uv resin.
