@TSMcDougald - looks good.

Have not tied with it yet, but your flies confirm my first impressions. The longer fibers have a bit of sheen and independence to them, the wooly stuff is short and soft, making a nice dubbing. 

I like what you did with that Spruce. 

The wooly stuff dubs like seal or angora goat although there is some underfur mixed in that I haven't been able to tease out yet.

Both were nice but I think I prefer this style

I wasn't sure what version you wanted after searching most of Dr. Henshall work he was a bass fisher and noted author on bass fly fishing of his time, often described as the apostle of black bass. I also like and favor the Bergman version and flytire's is an exceptional example I just thought the bass version was the original.

Yes, underfur.  That's what I meant when I said wooly stuff.
