Mint floss and fly fishing.... it sounds like a match that was mint to be... j/k [
]
The author of the book I was reading said he used the regular flat, unwaxed, dental floss. It sounded a bit odd to me, but he swore that when it got quite windy, there was no better technique. It certainly sounds more practical to me to attach a piece of floss or ribbon to the end of a regular line, but what I read sounded like he had the whole spool filled with dental floss that he suggested one buy in bulk from a dentist.
Thanks for all the thoughts. It is always interesting to learn of new ideas.
He also had a technique where he used leadcore line and a foam fly. This was used in lakes and the line would drag along the bottom kicking up a kind of chum-line. Any thoughts on this technique? Has anyone done this before?
