Mad Scientist

Post by chase creek » Thu Feb 07, 2013 1:45 pm

Now that I have time to clean my tying room, I keep finding long lost materials. The dubbing on this came in one of the Christmas boxes from the mad scientist at Fly Tying Dungeon a couple of years ago. The fibers are a little long, but that can be fixed.

Thread - Griffith 14/0 Sheer, Cinnamon
Abdomen - FTD Halo Dubbing, in a Dropped Loop

Fibers might be a wee tad long, but as you say can be "fixed", but it is a way cool buggy looking dubbing! Very nice shade of colour that will appeal to many a fishes dining requirements.
Nice looking fly, very well tied.

Looks very similar to golden stonefly dubbing mix I use.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Nice, Rodger.

Nice fly! Reminds me of some Canadian Brown Mohair. ;)
