Hans:
Could rabbit or snowshoe hare be substituted? I don't think any of the local shops carry Argentinean hare.

Is the dubbing wound on tight and picked out or do you make a loose dubbing wrap?

Han's -
After doing up a few of these in all olive, I thought I'd try one with a brown thorax, so I spun up a dubbing loop with brown squirrel vs olive. Just curious if you have tried this fly with a different color thorax? It just seems like a simple and really good caddis larva imitation (olive or dual colored!).
Cant wait to fish it!

Hans, got my split thread sorted after watching your clip. It was the bit of spinning the bobbin over your finger then letting that spin up the thread. Using it on some soft hackle flies for the 2012 swap. No stopping me now.

Good man .
It is actually not just over finger (thought that does mostly work too) - I actually pinch the thread below the dubbing, and above the bobbin holder, and then spin it.
Cheers,
Hans
