Help with Turkey Feather Wing

do you treat it with flexament?

I know some people use Tyvek, they just color it with markers. It is virtually bomb proof. Tyvek is a material they use in Fed-Ex envelopes, house wraps, and probably a hundred other things.

Flexament would work - also good call on the Tyvek. I'll try both.
How bout that afternoon caddis hatch near JB on Saturday? Hope you guys were able to get out in that this past weekend.

Thanks guys!

Does anyone know how to make a tentwing caddis more durable? My turkey feather wings are getting pretty torn up after just 1 fish. Can someone suggest a more durable material than turkey for the wing? Thanks guys-
