As you go through your fly box sorting flies for this years fishing and discover flattened hackle flies; a neat and simple way to bring them back to life is steam.
You can either hold them in tweezers to steam individually or put a number of them in a sieve and hold over a steaming pan, this will bring them quite remarkably back to life and perk up the hackles. Just remember to let them dry before returning them to your box!
I must try that!
