you can leave your hat on .... DIY fly patch

Hi Y'all,

Fly patch - the ongoing issue. My fishing buddy Frank Bowy made me aware of door / window windstopper tape to be used for self made flyboxes. The tape is actually a rubber tube with a P shaped profile. It's originally for sealing windows and doors. Hence the name - air stop. It makes nice fly patches or can be used to make your own box.

My beloved wife found it in brown at the home depo store. The adhesive tape is available in a nice brownish colour from Schuller-Ehklar (Part Number 44310) http://www.schuller.eu/glob/intro/intro.html.

Cheers,
Thomas

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
