If you have ever heard of the New Zealand indicator system, you'll know that (if properly treated) it will land softly and float for a long time. One day while tying wool head streamers I was thinking to myself that I had like a lifetime supply of wool indicators if I wanted to use it for that. One thing led to another and I was tying flies with wool indicators shaped like mayfly wings. I treat these right off the vise with flyagra as shown in the video, and this is a pretty important step. If they aren't treated, they might not float as well right out of the box. We've done a lot of tests with these, and they float for a long long time (but not overnight.) Anyway, this is a cool technique that I'm excited to explore a little bit more with other hatches. Happy tying!
