A few years ago Orvis in their Fly Tying Catalog had a fly testing
machine that cost around $75.00.
It consisted of a small water tank and pump. From the looks of it, you
would tie off a fly to some tippet and place the fly inside the tank and
the flow of water you would be able to see how the fly reacts in
relationship to the flow.
I thought it was cool, and forgot about it for a while, when I went to
purchase one, they no longer carried them.
Does anyone out there know of some type of fly tester that you would be
able to observe the movements of your fly under water?
