Hi all. This may sound like a silly question, but about how long do your flies hold up either with just wrapping the thread with your dubbing, or using a dubbing loop. I had a tremendous 4th with my clouser nymph, but I noticed that the dubbing had been "worn off" and was now down to the thread. This is after 6 smallies and a couple of hours pounding the stream. Still looks pretty buggy, but it got me to thinking. Maybe I need to be wrapping things a whole lot tighter, or is quick wear the nature of the beast? Any ideas or your experiences appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
