That's a good example, Stan. To be clear, I didn't think I found something
new under the sun.

The earliest example I can think of appeared in a book called
the "Gordon Garland," first published in the early 1960's sometime.
I have a first edition....think it was later republished by Gingrich
under a
different name. Had something to do with Theodore Gordon Fly Fishers
Club
in New Yawk.

It was an anthology of sorts, that included an Ernie Schwiebert
chapter about
"Cracker Barrel Discourses" ......about fly tying with various
luminaries.
One of those guys came up with an emerger that had a round styrofoam
ball encased in bit of panty hose.......so the nymph would suspend
just
below the surface. I tried it. It worked, sort of. Closed cell foam
seems
like the same thing, but more better.
