I have been looking for a certain okie color and i haven't found it. I found the color that I want in fingernail polish. Some of you probably know what color I am looking for it is Steelhead driftfishing, the new movie. My question is if I paint the okie with fingernail polish will the chemicals harm the river or fish? Thanks.

plug puller, the amount of polish on an okie shouldn't degrade the environment too much. I would recommend that you wear wading boots over your toenails, and and keep your hands out of the water as much as possible! wink Seriously, a good way to paint those drift bobbers is to tightly stick a round toothpick into one of the holes, apply the paint, and then stick the other end of the toothpick into a block of styrofoam for drying. When I spray paint drift bobbers, I do the same thing, except I put on an old leather glove, and rotate the toothpick to get even coverage on the lure.

Ok, I get the clue. So I won't paint them. wink I will also be sure to take off my toenail polish before I enter the stream. ha ha
Os,
I hear how many fish you catch so I hardly believe that you won't harm a fish.... laugh
