 Posts: 2733 | Hi Casey, Well I wish I could of responded to your "cats can't swim" comment in the original post about alternative fly tying material - but I don't know how to correct the settings error I am experiencing. But anyway I thought you should look at these. Google Image search - pictures of swimming cats | |

 Posts: 2608 | however, i still maintain that a a gold-ribbed cat's hare nymph will not float! Casey, I once watched a squirrel swim across the South Branch of the Au Sable. It was a hoot! It's tail looked like it had been dipped in floatant and was riding like a bobber on the river. I kept waiting for a monster Brown or pike to swallow him whole... Squirrel dubbing is sold as nymph dubbing and they can swim pretty good as well...Why not your cat dub? :) We'll call it "Casey's Cat Dub" and sell it in one of those dubbing boxes in ten "promised to score" colors! You will be rich! Spence | |
