FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSHends Body Quill Dark looks most natural when wrapped over a thread underbody of a similar or slightly lighter shade. Finish with a thin coat of UV resin or quality varnish to enhance translucency, emphasise the segmentation and significantly increase the durability of the finished fly. |
