I saw this on fly forums. I tried it, it works brilliantly and not only with CDC flies.

It does not crush the fly  like an amadou pad and works more quickly and effectively on a saturated fly than false casting or "dry shake" powder.  Very often on overgrown rivers false casting to dry a fly is either impossible or undesirable because it spooks fish. Try this.  I was skeptical, but it is 100% effective, the drying is total and instant. Two or three pings of the rubber band is all that is required.

I now have 2 rubber bands on my fly vest.   :D

The video is in Spanish (or it could be Gaelic - all sounds the same to me  :lol:),  but you will get the idea.

I saw this on Facebook but thought it might just be a gimic ( most of the stuff I see on there is mince) but I'll give it a bash, usually just squeeze them in my tshirt and give them a shake!

I have been dry fly fishing for over 40 years and having tried it I'd say this is the single best tip I have read anywhere. Seriously.  :D

It's that Gaelic, hardly anyone understands a word of it.   :lol:

That looks worth a try. I wonder if it works with slimed up flies too, which hasn't happened much lately :(

Protect the edge.

I'd guess you just wash off the slime and give it a ping.  :D
