Re: More Mole
Mole is on great material to use. I use a fur rake to get what I need. Makes for great touch dubbing when you just want to ghost the silk.

Thanks for posting.

Re: More Mole
Never too much mole. Very nice Bill. This will make a nice sub for a hare's ear nymph. I find myself fishing almost no plain nymphs, just nymphs with soft hackles.

Re: More Mole
Man, I could fish this fly all day long. Love the body work, and such a nice job of it. Glad you are enjoying the mole. Great use of keeping something simple and taking it further.
