The flash rib is a nice touch. It nicely compliments the dubbed body. Fine craftsmanship, Hans.

Hans, your steady contributions of innovative fly dressings are one of the best things I have ever seen on the web.
Technical questions—is this a split thread dubbing?
And what is distinctive about Argentinian hare? Do you cut it into shorter lengths?

Lance,

Conventional noodle. When doing split thread I include in the recipe.

Argentinean Hare is a product by SwissCDC - and it is awesome! Wonderful blend of soft and spiky, in a great range of colors. Not inexpensive, but (IMNSHO) well worth the cost.

I agree with Ray, that flash rib really sets the fly off nicely. I need some of that Argentine Hare...hehehe.
