Hareline 1mm Fly Foam

Hareline 1mm Fly Foam is a thin, 1 mm plain foam sheet for slim terrestrial bodies, layered backs, wings and small fly-tying details. Its low thickness helps create a flat profile and makes it easier to fit the material neatly to smaller patterns.

Construction and use

Cut the sheet with scissors, a sharp knife, a punch or a matching cutter. Trim a strip or shape to size, place it on the hook shank and secure it with broad, controlled thread wraps so the thread does not cut into the foam. A thread base or adhesive compatible with foam can stabilise the component when useful. Thickness affects the profile and the amount of buoyant material, but the flotation of a finished fly also depends on the hook, eyes and other dressing weight.

• Preparation: cut strips, wings and small shapes directly from the sheet.
