Fly Tying

Recommended Posts

Hi

Today for Christmas my dad got me some different kinds of dubbing but I dont know what I would use them for.

They are:

 

Skeeter Fuzz

Monster Dry

Frawg

Peacock

Halo

Hares Web

Coarse and Wet

Antron

 

What kind of flies would I use them for and in what situations.

THey came from

www.flytyersdungeon.com

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

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.

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.

 

Sincerely,

Mad Scientist
