Guest bigdirty Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Airbrush. I think perfect spotting may satisfy you more than the fish. Also, I haven't found a marker that doesn't fade after a few hours in the river. Nice fly 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigdirty Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've been looking for a good brown trout fry imitation... I did the spotting with a sharpie and it bled into the fibers a bit. Any suggestions on spotting streamers? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigdirty Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Have you tired Sharpies? Yes, I found on natural stuff, marabou or wool, they still fade. Great on the synthetics. Have also tried the prismacolor stuffs. Like the color selection, but found the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 When I dye stuff, I usually fix it with vinegar and rinse to make it color fast, you might try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroutPanther Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hey all, Dig all the ties. Some impressive stuff on here, and creative tiers. Just a reminder to mash your barbs before you tie, if you are tying anything articulated. Just one lapse in concentration and a size 1 hook in your thumb mames you change habits pretty quick: http://s1167.photobucket.com/user/Michael_Richard_Van_Appelen/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsvro2ldal.jpg.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
