And Cheeses said "follow me and I will make you fishers of fish"(;^0)

I live in Lake Arrowhead, fish the High Sierra's, my goto fly is an
olive matuka or a Cody bullet.
I fish mainly from a float tube, and used to do the camera work for The
California Fishing Show.
I read, but have never posted.

do mostly day trips and fish wets and nymphs. Mostly hatchery supported
waters but some wild. My "go to" fly is a partridge and yellow tyed with
fine wire. Thanks for letting me pick you guys brains.

I live in Lake Arrowhead,

Caught my very first trout when I was 6 at Big Bear Lake. Back then,
Arrowhead was for the rich people, but you could walk most of Big
Bear's shoreline without stepping on anyone's property.

Hey Randy,
Thanks for putting me in contact with Don. We've been collaborating

OBRoff: An overcoat of Loons Hard Head over flashabou makes for a great
reflective pox back. If you're tying a bunch of flashbacks anyway, try
a few drops of the goop. Great stuff.

Isn't that water based? I used a Loon product about 3 or 4 years ago
as a hardener on my crawfish. It turned milky after about an hour of
fishing it. Does the Hard Head do the same?

Why not just use 5-minute epoxy? Tie up a half dozen or so and then do
them all at once. Mix the hardener and resin on a piece of aluminum foil
with a toothpick. What could be easier? And I'll bet it's cheaper than
some Loon product.

I usually tie flashbacks without epoxy or any other coating. After the
first fish the Flashabou is dangling by one end, but that doesn't seem
to make any difference.

I probably tie 80% of my bread-and-butter nymphs as flashbacks. Mostly
PTs, GRHEs, and lately (because of ROFF), different versions of Skip's
Nymph. Great fly.

Thats what I use now. Was just wondering about the efficacy of the
product.

I agree. Just a little bit of 'poxy and the flies double their catch
rate.
