Dubbing Dry Fly

Recommended Posts

Hello :)

 

This might sound really silly but before I started fly tying I could swear I was sold a black dry fly with only dubbing, it was just shaped few different ways and sizes. But it was a killer fly caught every time.

 

My question being has anyone ever seen a fly like this or is it possible? It didn't have any wings on it as I know other patterns like black spiders and stuff.

 

Thanks in advance.

If it was black, then the question dosen't sound silly at all & it probably was a fish magnet! There are people that say if your only gonna ty a fly in one colour, make sure it's black! I don't know what the fly is you are asking about is? But a allblack anything is sure to catch something!

Thanks for the replies :) I think KOKOEK9 hit it on the head it did look a black ant with the body I.E the two blobs close together only they where dubbing not thread, I agree with you there it was very effective but I gave it to another lad who was struggling to catch, so now I need more haha.
