fly_fischa 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2011 Hi All, Thought I'd post my swap flies for the invitational dubbing swap. Horseshoes kindly sent me my choice of dubbing and I thought I'd experiment a bit You can view my dubbing choice on this link it was 'Hare Mix': Horseshoes dubbing link It's a very fine long fibred dubbing that has a nice translucent sheen and quality to it. It dubbs beautifully and is easy to blend. For the dry I decided to roll a traditional bubbing noodle, tied in at the rear and wound forward to get a thin segmented body. I had some fun playing around with nymphs and decided to do a lightly weighted fly. It's a simple nymph: Tail = Squirrel tail Thread = Uni 8/0 gray Abdomen/Weight = Fine copper wire/Hare mix dubbing (Take small wisps of dubbing and dub directly onto the wire, wrap forward to thorax starting point and secure. Tease dubbing out with dubbing brush) Thorax = Thinly dubbed noodle of SLF prism which is then dubbed over with wisps of Hare Mix Dubbing. It's interesting to see how well the copper wire shows through the dubbing when wet. Enjoy Karsten Dry version of Nymph Wet version of Nymph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
