My problem is actually not having too much dubbing on the thread for the back 2/3 of the fly. Of course I am using material from the late great dubbing dog Brody. She was half Rottweiler half German Shepherd and all lap dog. She lost so much hair each spring that I would throw away plastig grocery sacks full. All black from her back, nice tan from her front shoulders and a wonderful mix everywhere else. Man I miss her. When I run out of dubbing I will really be hard pressed to find a replacement.
Maybe that long-haired German Shepherd the neighbor just got will grow into a nice dubbing supplier. I bet they'd be happy to have someone brush him once in a while.
