It makes them a little more durable. I slopped on a coating or two of gloss nail polish. It makes them a little more durable.

I have done the same thing, but the paint ends up chipping off after a while. I like the popper made with the Dremel. I have done the same thing, but the paint ends up chipping off after a while.

Was back at again today. Bucket loads on my run between here and the canadian border. I think fire season is pretty much toast in these parts for the year. Thanks, Ian. Was back at again today.

Will give it a try. Will be looking for those new patterns too. Kaufmann's Streamborn on the coast, is the closest place to me here in Montana that I can order Eumer stuff. I'll be having a go with the 'coon dog soon. Thanks for the tip to flip the plip! Will give it a try. Will be looking for those new patterns too.

I'll be back for more reading and go through your archives. Summer here in Ontario has been pretty weird too. Very cool and damp June and July - I think we had about 10 days where it did not rain. Warmed up a bit in August, but still lots of rain! It was nice to find your blog. I’ll be back for more reading and go through your archives.

Nice looking flies by the way. To alleviate The plipper from landing on its back I used Christmas garland bought from my local craft shop. the one with the wire in it. wrap that on next time and it should work a treat. With regards to Raccoon fur it truly is amazing stuff. Try and find a Eumer tube accessories stockist over there that has the stuff in stock. Its not so cheap but its worth it. I have actually been using in on many of the new walleye and perch jigging flies from last month.Just go to my Archive. The Tube trawler from the 1st post of this month was mainly made using raccoon fur. And stay tuned mate I have been tying some insane flies over the last few days and some new walleye developed flies that have been bagging the chaps over here plenty of fish with. With regards to Raccoon Dog here is a link for you to read up about them. They are extremely common over here and in northern Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raccoon_Dog Anyway hope you n the family are well Tight lines Si Hey Wayne,Hope you are well mate.
