Hi, I use my thistledown on a 2wt rod in small streams and on a 4wt rod for larger waters. Works pretty well although not perfect. the line is a poor floater and with the mono core displays memory. Snowbee describe the line as I high floater which includes nanotechnology whatever that is. Could mean...

I have a snowbee thistledown floating line described as a 2-5wt. Touches down quietly but is very poor floater. Barely floats is a good description. Mine is mono core. I beIieve a new braided core version is available which might float better...might

Hi,
Is this to kill off any bugs?

Hi,
Shine a UV light on flourescent materials used in a fly and they seem to glow. Whether this makes a fly more attractive to trout is the burning question.
Dave.

Hi,
I have not read the book just wondered if flourescent materials were mentioned.
I like to include a flourescent tag in some of my nymphs I think this makes them more attractive.
Dave.

Hi,
Dick Walker first brought up the chinaman theory in relation to artifcial flies.
It was how much can you remove from the drawing of a chinaman and still recognise it as a chinaman.
To relate that to a fly for example, would a cranefly still catch if all it had was the legs?
