Pretty standard stuff in the beginning, but a neat trick at the end (about 1:05 mark) for drying CDC.

Great tip. I purchase a natural chamois and cut it into 2x2 inch strips. When the body of the fly gets too waterlogged I give it a squeeze with the chamois and the treat it with some Top Ride. I think it works. if a couple of fishermen chip in the chamois goes a long way and dose not cost much. I don't have experience with synthetic chamois like the ShamWow.

A patch of amadou works even better than chamois.

Wow, a little more expensive than a 2X4 piece of chamois

Yeah, and much more expensive than using my shirt.

Seems like a lot of trouble when you you're wearing a shirt. My shirt, amadou or a piece of chamois seems pretty easy to me. To each his own. What works best for each of us is fine. Thanks for posting.

Probably right, but with the greasy fly float my shirt is gonna get pretty slimy.
