Oh great Zen Leecher did I see that you use nail polish? I hope there are no panty hose inside the wadders! shocked

mad mad

The nail polish is to protect the flashabou bodies on my beadhead chronies.

Pantyhose??? Nope.... nothing under my waders other than wet pants and wet socks. Waders have a hole in them somewhere.

Zen has taught me patience to put up with the leak.

To answer your other question, I bought some half and half corkies down at Outdoor Emporium. Sometimes I slide a corkie on my leader, pin it with a toothpick, and use it as an indicator. I bought 15 that look like teeny little red and white bobbers.

Micro knows, but he ain't talkin. The finger nail polish really does work well, plus it give the chronie a nice shine. I have used a copper wire chronie at Lenore which worked very well, 2 - 3' below visual depth adjuster. laugh

Micro Brew,

What color copper wire did you use? I tried the red wire and had good luck with it... then last weekend tied up some in green, but on Sunday the weather didn't look all that inviting, so I didn't fish.

I was using the red wire ones on a two fly rig with it being the bottom fly. I got too many tangles that way and that's when I thought to tie (or wrap) up some green bodied ones to use as the upper fly.

Straight copper color, no coloring. I know all too well about those two fly tangles. Plus I really hate to cut up that fluorocarbon leader....
