If you have some to sell or know where I can buY some please let me know. It must be pure white. I can bleach it down to cream but cannot get a pure white and the supply I have been using for quite a while is running very low. HELP

Try this:

They have one called “Ephron White”. There are some pictures of dry flies down the page. One of them is completely white.

Good morning,

I agree, I think that Mad River Dubbing Company is the best place to start.

I have a little dab I would be glad to send you that is very close to white, it’s from Mad River, came in a dubbing selection and I won’t use white for anything. It’s about a 1" cube.

Hi Uncle Bruce - Didn’t anyone have it at the Philly show? TCO carries it. If you’d like, I could pick up a pack and drop it off when I visit that Bigdadyrod character.

Hi. I was looking at the Mad River Page, but it doesn’t tell you how to order unless I’ve completely over looked the place where to do so. I might be interested in the 12 selection box.
Thanks,
Bruce

PS. I’m not Uncle Bruce.

Talked to folks from Mad River and they tell me they only sell through dealers. They were glad to inform me of local dealers. I have used one of their 12 comp dubbing assortments for many years and find it very usefull and think you would be happy with one. I am a big fan of beaver dubbin g. Rabbit and super fine just behind and muskrat for Adams.

Thanks herefishy recieved the dubbing. It is not quite as white as I was trying for but talking to guys from Mad River the ytold me to use a bright white thread to dub onto. I went with the bright white thread and tied in a piece thicker than I normally use for tying in, worked rather well. Their idea and your dubbing made a winning combo. Thanks again.

Heritage Angler I appreciate your efforts. See my answer to herefishy above I no longer need the real white stuff. But if you do run into some get me two packs. Thanks again to everyone who was so much help.

Another trick is to add a small amount of white rabbit to the mix, it will brighten the look and won’t take away from the beaver texture or effect.

Glad it worked for you, DFG.

DaveMac, your idea on mixing the white rabbit with not quite white enough beaver worked like a charm. A mix of almost white enough beaver at 60 % and very nice white rabbit at 40% made a great mix. Took all guard hair out of both before mixing, well nearly all, and I now have a container of really nice pure white dubbing. This mix plu sthe thread idea and a bleaching suggestion I have not yet tried but looks good should put me in a position of never needing white dubbing again. Thanks again.

I am so glad that worked well for you. It is amazing how many different color combinations you can get when you mix one material with another.
