headscan Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Will any egg yarn do? Pretty sure you can find different brands of egg yarn in the fly tying section of most shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonAndersen Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 flyfishingnate, GloBug yarn denier is quite fine and works well for tiny yarn balls inserted into tippet knots. Tried it on large yarn indicator types and found that it wouldn't float well. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhuseby Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 If you can't find it any where Don, send me a pm. I have four packages that I bought down in the US and haven't found a use for yet. All different colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All different colours. Fly.. My thanks but I got 4 bags on the west coast for the tiny indicators. Only used a foot or so of the yards and yards I've got. Don And guys, if you wish to build your own yarn indicators I use macrame cord. Unfortunately it is no longer a craft and Micheals or others don't stock it. There is a source http://www.macramesuperstore.com/. A 50 yard skein will last years. I use the cord for indicators + other yarn flies like the CFF and Bowel Movement. There is an article on my site http://bamboorods.ca/indicators.html that details the process. The CFF uses white and BM uses - you guessed didn't ya - brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks. So you wouldn't recommend using the bug yarn for stike indicators. Wholesale sports or bass pro shops ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 flyfishingnate, As I said, denier is too light. Need stiffer yarn for bigger flies. For fishing emergers and tiny chironomids, it works fine. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
