Polypro doesn't absorb water (in my experience). A friend has turned me
on
to turkey flats for posts and while those do suck up water, I've found
it's
not a problem if you give the post a good shot of head cement and grease
it
up.

The best in terms of floatation might be a thin strip of 2mm closed cell
foam. I've experimented with two strips (orange and white) which is
really
easy to see. This gives me a good idea for a swap fly...


Polypro, closed cell foam.....sheesh don't you guys ever tie a parachute fly
the way God intended, good old fashioned animal hair?
