What were they blowing dry? The head cement? Problem with that is that wind, especially with humid air, will cloud up head cement or put a frosty outer layer on it. I know tiers that have tried to hook up blowers to their drying wheels, and after just opted for small fans at low speeds-

Rene, I really like Simms stuff but it is pricey. I bought a Hodgman wading jacket at Sportsmans Warehouse a few years back and I love it. It has big pockets so I can put in a few fly boxes. It is short so it stays out of the water. And I think it is good looking so I wear it a lot around

I got one of those from Tom Tullis at a Denver show. Still have it in my collector's flies box. He had a tank with a pump in it pushing water over the fly, making it wiggle. That's probably why it's called a Wiggle-bug, huh. DonO - Original Message - From: Jack Lehman
