Tried tying my own dries for the first time with some sz6 chubbies and they’re having buoyancy issues. They float well initially, but all of them gradually get water-logged within a minute. It never fully sinks, but also doesn’t stay as afloat as it should. Any tips on what may need improvement? My first thought was too much dubbing, but even after brushing out all excess dubbing the issue persists. Could it just be poor quality foam, or should I have double layered the foam on such a large dry fly?
