flyfshn76 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2008 Skeeter Fuzz-very fine dubbing for small drys Monster Dry-use this for larger drys such as drakes and such Frawg-another dry fly dubbing kinda like superfine I believe Peacock-for nymphs, buggy looking, when dubbed Halo-not sure Hares Web-specific blend of rabbit, same thing as hares ear dubbing has antron to add flash Coarse and Wet-not sure Antron-synthetic dubbing for nymphs-somewhat flashy. Hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THey came from www.flytyersdungeon.com Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Charlie Charlie. Skeeter Fuzz - Ultra fine dry fly dubbing for smaller dry flies, from #14 to #30. Monster Dry - Larger fiber dry fly dubbing, #14 and up size dry flies, hoppers, big mayflies, stoneflies etc. Frawg - A finer diameter dry fly dubbing inbetween Skeeter Fuzz and Monser Dry. Small to large dry flies. #20 and up. Peacock - A peacock base dubbing for nymphs, use in place of peacock herl. Nymph sizes #14 and up. A coarser dubbing with many colors mixed in for a "Peacock" look. Great for bodies on Wooly Buggers, replaces chenille. Halo - a fine different type of antron or bright nylon dubbing. A silky feel & look for nymphs and wet flies giving the fly a "halo" effect with a sheen not a brilliance type look. Mix with other nymph dubbing. Hares Web - Classic rabbit with a touch of antron, nymphs and wet flies all sizes. Coarse and Wet - A very coarse dubbing for the larger nymphs, dragon flies, stoneflies and larger caddis...more "buggy" look. Antron - A fine trilobal dubbing for very flashy flies. Best used as an enhancer with other dubbings, mix with rabbit, Frawg etc. giving the dubbing a sparkle effect. My favorites: Frawg, Skeeter Fuzz and the Mr. Peacock dubbing. I hope this helps.
