Norm,
Beautiful fly as always.

It says the abdomen is dubbed with olive marabou. Forgive my ignorance, but does that mean you took some fluff of a feather and put it in a dubbing loop? Does it still retain a little of its lifelike motion when dubbed?
Love seeing your work here and on reddit. Thanks for the inspiration!

It looks like the marabou feather is tyed in by the tip and wrapped forward (palmered) forming the taper naturally.

I could be wrong. Just my best guess, based on the shape of the abdomen.

That was my thought too, Ray. That would give it a nice taper as you mentioned.
