I tried putting some flys on a lanyard today and it worked pretty fare. I
have a hard time trying to change flys especially anything 16 or smaller while wading. I strung C&F threaders through a pill bottle and on to the lanyard. There a couple of pictures on ABPF. It workd pretty well I was able to put a new fly on much faster than I would have digging out box, putting on the fly etc. I put all pattern in one bottle so the patterns you can quick change are limited to how many pill bottles your willing to wear around you neck ( I used 6). I have to be careful putting the threader back in the bottle, if a fly catches on the edge of the bottle they can all strip off. After the first trial there are a couple of chages to make, one is to get a pill bottle with an attached cap. and to replace the mono with a single strand of steel leader. The threaders work great with the small nymphs bout for the bigger drys to work I may have to make my own threaders and use a longer bottle. I'm also going to start on a big variation for steelhead flys, I can still see well enough to change them and it may take a pill bottle the size of a beer can but hopefully it will work when it's colder than whores heart and my fingers only kinda work. |
