Things U found that R neat for fly fishing

Every once in a while I get to wondering what cool things have been
discovered by this group that would make fly fishing a bit more enjoyable or
handy or whatever...

Here is my contribution:

A stainless steel "soap bar" that is the size of a large dog tag that fits
nicely in my vest (It has a hole in it so you can use a keeper, very handy).
I am never worried about fish odor just my own scent sending the fish away
in a hurry.

Fresh Fingers Odor Bar and it cost less than $3.00 US from a cooking section
in a department store. Here is the company that supplies them:

Hugo's Amazing Tape http://www.getcreativeshow.com/amazingtape.htm The
stuff sticks to itself but has no adhesive. Its great for holding thread on
the spool (one wrap around the spool) and a bunch of other things or
wrapping multiple rod tubes together for travel.

Okay, here's another. Its more for fly tying than specifically for
fishing. "Angelina Fiber" from
http://www.texturatrading.com/angelina.html Very inexpensive and used
by yarn makers and "scrapbooking" enthusiasts. Put some in with your
dubbing, stick it in the coffee grinder, instant flash in your dubbing.
41 colors available and it doesn't take much to really dress up you
dubbing. You can also iron it between two pieces of butcher paper and
come up with wingcase or winging material with a great flash (try the
pearl color for a scud back or the "enchanted forest flash" for a stone
fly). It mixes well with itself and other dubbing.
I found it at a quilt and fibre show. You can call the lady at Textura
and she'll send you any amount you might want. Stuff is awesome.

.....because I suck at nail knots, I acquired two little nail knot tools
that work as advertised with a minimum of hassle. One lives in my vest, the
other in my travel fishin' bag.

I have found the iPod to be a great gadget for the fishing trip. Great while driving to the fishing hole to get amped up. Great during the down-times while fishing. Great for making myself feel better on the drive home after not catching any fish. You might even be able to find a free ipod by checking http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7223026.
