hydropsyche Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 This might have been posted before but its worth repeating. When I received my Fly Swap flies, some where squashed. Break out your kettle and hold the fly over the steam (with tweezers). Its amazing how deer hair and hackle spring right back to their original shape right before your eyes. Try it. You'll like it.

Works for your fly tying materials as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyangler Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Steaming also works great to recondition flies that were slimed up by fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
