While cleaning out my vest I found a bunch of flies in
one of those small slide out boxes that flyshops get
their flies in. The box had got good and crushed while
in the vest, don't know how long it'd been there, two
or maybe three seasons. I'd hate to toss them, but
they definitely have a "wadded up" look to them, don't
know if they'd fish too well.
A couple of times on the list, people have talked
about steaming flies to restore crushed hackle and so
on. Can this be done with a regular tea kettle or does
it need to be a more intense source of steam? Any
other way of restoring flies? Should I just fish them
as cripples? <VBG> Any tips are certainly appreciated.
