    Default GARY'S DEPTH CHARGE - FOTW - November 16, 2009

    GARY'S DEPTH CHARGE

    "Here's an offering for the Fly of the Week. I don't know if it is similar to anything that already has a name but it sure fits the bill for me. I use it to swing deep for Steelhead on my home water North Umpqua River. "

    Thanks Gary,
    Interesting fly. I've never heard of Quick Descent dubbing before. You may have just opened a new door for me. Does it come in different colors? Say peacock?
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.
    Fish with a Friend,

    Default Quick Descent dubbing

    Lotech,

    Here is a link to Cabela's version of it. Many fly shops carry it as well.

    Not sure what happened to the pictures I sent in but here is the finished fly.

    Spirit River has the same dubbing and calls it Depth Advantage.

    Default Quick Descent Dubbing

    Quick Descent Dubbing! I wrote a story on this dubbing many many years ago, when I was the weekly columnist for "Tying Tips". I gave credit for the article to "Andy Ross" who worked at the fly shop, that I was visiting!

    It is a great material to use by itself. or to blend with other dubbing materials.

    You can use it to shape a nymph body, without all the rigmarole and hoopla that other techniques call for....

    I got mine from Cabelas and is is Hareline brand. And as I mentioned before, Spirit River products sold in many fly shops calls theirs "Depth Advantage".
