Hi Norm, that is a really nice looking clean fly! Looks too nice to fish!

I have a question. Do you treat the turkey with anything? I ask because when I tie my Parachute Schroeders Caddis, the turkey becomes really ratty after a couple of fish. I was thinking about using some Softex, but I've never used Softex and I have heard of many people hating how Softex fumes makes them feel.
