Varying dubbing for hint of segmentation

Byron_haugh · August 6, 2011, 11:07pm

I know one could use a different colored thread or floss, but I like tying these with changes in the color of dubbing. I know some of you do the same thing.

Would you please post pictures of your varied dubbed flies.

Thank you,

Byron

If you look closely at the dubbing developed by Al Caucci, you will see that it is based on four(4) primary colors. The amount of each primary color is varied so that the results cover the spectrum of mayfly and caddis insects. The four colors: blue, yellow, magenta and white. Sold under the name ‘Spectrumized Dubbing’.

Beautiful flies Don. But, I mean verigated dubbing.

OK, I’ll post some that the dubbing changes colors as it moves up the shank. I like those too. I’ve done a lot of McGinty’s like that.

Also, with the hard segments, high-liting with fine-tip pens allows some customizing:

Last ones…great producers for evening hatches- I tie them from size 26 through size 12.
I call them palomino mayflies. Upwing standard hackle, parachute, and delta-wing (spent) comfigurations:
