Wild Trout Blog

The Boise River Fishery began in March of 2007 as a means of gathering support for regulation changes on the lower Boise River. My objective was, and still is, to protect the river’s wild trout population and to create a quality destination for anglers. Since its inception, the site has expanded into a “Wild Trout Blog”. Photographs, information, and thoughts on fly fishing for trout and steelhead are now posted for the benefit of others who, like myself, are passionate about the sport.

Wonder Wax

I'm approaching the end of my last tube of Overton's Wonder Wax.  This the dubbing wax to which all others are compared.  That is of course if you are old enough to have used it.  I'm not exactly sure when it went out of production, but I believe it was 10-20 years ago.

Some tiers are going through great lengths to achieve Overton's sticky but smooth texture.  Toilet ring wax is the base ingredient.  I will probably get by with Wapsi wax for awhile.

Keep the cap tight on your Overton's if you value it like I do mine.

The Original and Best

Steve,
I use Tex-Tite, a bowstring wax, and find it the most user friendly of all I have ever tried.
