I’m looking for the impossible? Certainly, but no harm in asking. I would like to borrow some and then return it. I would only need a tiny sample to put under the microscope and attempt to establish what the ingredients where!
Please let me know if you know of any.
Thanks

Actually it’s not, the recipe was top secret for many years and even then the actual ingredients were only vaguely referenced. Never the excact proportions. It’s been a quest of mine for a while to find out, not that I ever even fish a Tups! I have my own blend, but it’s only a guess.

Love both fly fishing and fly tying, been doing it for a while
But not much good at either
