I like fishing these no hackle flies Michael. Do you build an underbody of "electronics sheet foam" on yours? I find that the extra bit of flotation the underbody foam provides keeps these floating without the need for dressings.
My best colors are tan and all black.
Nevr tried that Bill, just a dab of gink and away they float. After a fish or two when they get soaked beyond reprieve just tie on a new one. Like the sound of black, will tie a few up for next week.
