In dentistry there was an initial problem with cures when LED lights were introduced. These light had very narrow cure ranges due to the nanometer wave length of the LED's that were used. Some resin/composite materials did not cure completely. Manufacturers solved this by building lights with an assortment of LED's with varying wavelengths. This widened the curing spectrum, and the lights now work with all materials. I expect that this will happen with fly resins. Some manufacturer will get over will get over his preoccupation with having his own proprietary light and produce a wide spectrum light. With proper advertising, this light will then own the market! All others will be forced to fall into line or fail.
As noted, some materials leave a tacky surface. This is due to the formation of an oxygen inhibited layer on the surface. Alcohol removes it. Sometimes covering the surface with glycerin prior to curing will prevent this. The glycerin can then be washed off, leaving a smooth surface.

This is a surgeon's loop, which has its own article here on the site, describing this very versatile knot.

I made one on a large Hook and tested it in the waterbassin. It jigs wonderfully and it sparkles like a discobowle. A real great idea. I used XMas lametta for the body and tinsel for the tail. I started to make this fly on tubes now. Even for troutsizes.

Beautiful fly tied on one of the most elegant hooks.

I love the Micky Fi

I love the Micky Finn streamer. It works for me any the time I use it. One day I was wading up stream back to the lodge all of a sudden I had a good hit.The fly came loose and fell back in the river, so you could say I caught the fish trolling.
I tie mine on TMC 300's 8 and 6. Some times I use gold tinsel in stead of silver tinsel. You can slip me a Micky any time... Dave

If I only had one fly to use it would be the rolled muddler. I have caught everything from cutthroat to steelhead to snook and jack crevalle in salt water in Florida.
It is the most fun fly I have ever used
