VERY VERY nice.......INDEED. i love to make and use dubbing brushes, and to also buy them and use them. i have a Nor vise and use it for nothing else but making dubbing brushes, lol. There is simply no end to what you can do with dubbing brushes, and the endless variety of types you can make. Your fly design is wonderful. Keep up the great work. mark.....

Hi Ruard,

Ruard, love that fly....the colors work great together too. I cannot imagine a fish turning their nose up to that.
