Excellent work. So understandable and easy to follow. Thank you. Do I detect a shine on the claret floss? Where can it be got?Thanks,Michael B.

[@salmosperoeliteflys]

Hi the floss I use in the video is an old style that has a shine to it but any claret floss will do
Regards Denis

I wanna to try it with Golden Dourados, here in Brazil. Sorry if the question is stupid, but, always with double hooks or may I use single hood?

[@gardinermitchellirishangli2772]

The double hook produces good movement and stability in the water but the single hook works well too. Good luck with the Golden Dourados ... awesome fish on the fly!
