At the Den today and I was thinking about a fly I wanted to try for the worms. So I got all the materials and started tying as soon as I got home. It never occured to me that all foam might not float. After a half dozen creations it crossed my mind that I should check how they floated, so I filled the dishpan and dropped them in to see if any modifications were needed. They went to the bottom faster than a Clouser! I was under the impression that if it was foam it would float. Just to be sure it wasn`t the hook wieght I tried a strip of plain foam and it too sank. I should have known that if I got enough foam to tie 60 flies for a buck it was too good to be true.

Even though the sinking foam didn't suit your needs there could still be some useful applications for it. Sounds like it would make a great crab carapace.
