Flyline Dressing?

I keep all my messages sent. I can't find were I ever posted this question.
If you can send me a copy I'll stand corrected. Even so maybe there would
be someone new who would appreciate your expert opinions on flyline
dressing?? That is why I posted the question to begin with and I did get a
reply or two from several thoughtful enough to respond kindly. Thanks

Most of us probably use the same thing we used back in April of last year
when you posted this almost exact same question.....

It looks to me like you asked two questions: "What is a good Fly-Line
Cleaner and lubricant" and "Any home remedies".

Out of curiosity, what do you view as the difference between fly line
dressing and fly line cleaner and lubricant?

Glide.

Mike,

It all works but some seem to think that the Japanese made "TMC Line
Dressing" imported by Umpqua is best.

Some swear by "Russ Peak Line Dressing".

The old timers use Mucilin paste.


(I buy that Abolene stuff by the 55 gallon drum so I can save enough money
to go to the sushi bar once a month.)

Thanks Bill...I appreciate your help. Also, I am here in Southern Illinois,
a beautiful area to behold. I'm less than five minute from a huge Federal
Wildlife refuge and the Shawnee National Forest. Allot of great warm water
fishing, though Devils Kitchen Lake a large pristine deep and clear
springfed lake has a sustaining population of good trout. It was stocked
back in 1975 and the fish liked it enough to spawn and survive. It is
stocked occasionally. Thanks to those that helped. Mike

No but I have heard of people using it. I have also used Scotch Guard....I
also use Scotch Guard for my Foam Flys. I let them soak then dry. It works
for me. Some people have environmental issues with using such products
though. MIKE

FWIW: Scotchguard has been reformulated and is no longer considered harmful.
Last time I looked. Things may have changed in the past 2 years.

Anyways, I don't waterproof my foam bugs, I like the way they eventually
absorb enough water to become neutrally buoyant, and eventually slow
sinking. As much fun as it is to take bluegills off the top, fishing just
subsurface, or a foot deep is also fun. And I have boatloads of fresh ones
if I really want to be on top again.
