In preparation for trip to the Skeena area I'm working on a bunch of ties. Last year I had the misfortune of losing 3 fish owing to failed articulated leeches. I must accept most of the blame seeing as I was the tier of these (sometimes) effective little gems. I was using Zap-A-Gap and it seemed as though the flies were seperating at the point on the front hook where the backing forming the loop for the trailing hook is cemented and tied. I have since switched to using a two part epoxy resin and kevlar thread. It seems as though Zap-A-Gap might get brittle when in cold water and put under great stress, anyone have any ideas or similar experiences. I have seen those modified "hooks" that have eyes at each end but that would be way too easy a fix. Thanks
