FISHING FLIES WITH IMPROVED PROPERTIES

摘要

A method of coating a fishing fly to improve the durability and wetting character of the fly. The coating is applied using gas deposition, encapsulating the fly with a water barrier while preserving its micro-details. The typical coating is odourless and colourless, and increases the longevity of the fly. The wetting character imparted by the method results from the choice of gas deposited on thefly. In coating a dry-type fly, the method uses a gas that will make the fly hydrophobic so that it floats after a significantly greater number of immersions than an uncoated fly. In coating a wet-type fly, the method uses a gas that will make the fly hydrophilic so that it submerges in less time than an untreated fly.
