Re: Dubbing Block; Old Dog Learns New Trick

I appreciate the feedback and tips. Now, I can choose between spinning bodies with the dubbing block and using the split-thread method.
It's raining here today and too cold to work in the greenhouse/garden. That gave me a chance to tie 2 flies using the muskrat and hare's ear dubbing blend. The hackle is a mix of medium dun hen and partridge. On 1 fly, I added a tag of amber wire for some "flash". Not an exact imitation of any insect, but it should provide a basic tan and gray option to swing through the riffles.
