Thanks Alan. Getting that haze of dubbing while still having the thread show through is something I'm hoping to achieve one day. My one and only UK trout (caught from a pay to play pond, West Mere I believe, near Manchester) was caught on a Waterhen Bloa tied with various substitutes that I had on hand at the time. I've got a number of skins that have a nice dark grey underfur with long fibres that just might do the trick.
