Just when we thought it was safe, he starts tying again

Overcome by tinker lust, never content to leave well enough alone, and creating one monstrosity after another…

Better than Scent of a thousand nitecrawlers It’s the result of more sparkly oddities than I know what to do with – with the picture at left showing one possible use for Angelina Film.

The film is what the births the fibers, I’m guessing they send it through a trimming machine to turn it into the bagged refractive fiber; it’s available in the same 20 colors asĀ  Angelina, and has a tough opal finish that refracts light in the same fashion as a mayfly wing.

Angelina Film It arrives sheer and smooth, the trick is to crumple it up to add the appearance of wing veins. It’s delivered in sheets of 4″ wide – 10 feet long, and costs about $3.50 per bundle.

As long as the spinners are small it shouldn’t cause a “helicopter” issue, where it’s rigid enough to spin a fine leader, larger wings may be another story. It’s just one more thing I am tying up to test in some nice Blueline venue this season.

This could make the perfect “torment” fly – the one you know the other fellow lacks, and when asked what you’re using – it’s produced with a lackadaisicalĀ  yawn.

I only torment them for a minute or two, then I fork over six or seven, I’m all bluster and no bite.

    I’ve used spark organaza for spinner wings in the past. Looks good, doesn’t float as well as something that traps air, but doesn’t twist the tippet up either.

    You’re like a blue jay — you like sparkly things…
