Question: I've tied up a bunch of HATCHING MIDGES and plan on tying
some HATCHING MAYFLY PMDs. ( from the book: Randall Kaufmann's "DRY
FLIES") In both cases the wingcase and shuck are made of CDC.

Can these be used with floatant or will it ruin them?

Tradional floatants will ruin them.

Pick up some Frog's Fanny, though. It's not quite a floatant, but will do
this particular job well. Frog's Fanny and CDC are a match made in heaven.
