Interesting dubbing technique
I ran across a link to this video on another forum:

I haven't tried it yet. I looks like it will make a fly that's heavier than I usually like, but one that could be useful on point in the colder months.

Makes a nice looking nymph, Bob, and the color options are endless. Thanks.

Re: Interesting dubbing technique
Thanks for sharing the link. It looks like a very useful technique, and one I intend to play around with. It looks like a nice way to add weight to nymphs.

Re: Interesting dubbing technique
Yes. I've used this technique before, but not as nice as this guy!
One thing I found was easier, was to rotate the vise when winding the body rather than wrapping the dubbed wire. The Dubbing stayed in place on the wire. For me anyway...
Someone spoke of Hans. How is he these days? He's disappeared !

Re: Interesting dubbing technique
Yep, very interesting technique, I’ve seen it done before when tying a PT wrapping the pheasant tail herl around the wire but never dubbing. I’ve got some very fine wire so I’m going to give it a try on a soft hackle nymph.
Thanks for the link.

Re: Interesting dubbing technique
Most things have been done before, I've been dubbing on wire for a long time. Muzz Wilson used to dub onto chenille, tubing, wires etc. basically anything that you were able to wrap onto a hook.
I don't have a decent example, the interesting part is seeing the flies wet, depending on the dubbing used. This is a photo I took ages ago whilst in London for a 6 mth stint. The dubbing was supplied for a swap on another forum.
