Mark yes, 2 reasons 1. nearly 40 years ago I was told always wax silk thread with Veniards wax, to protect the silk and improve the durability of the flies, always have always will.. 2. The furled silk is stiffer and holds the open shape of the eye. iain From: markflie...@hotmail.com To:

Iain: Can I get in this swap??? I didn't say anything before cause I am in one swap already and thought I would have to tie a bunch more flies. I guess I should have read farther down about only having to tie one fly. Not sure what I'll tie, but I'll come up with one. Thanks, Chuck Please
