Re: Partridge and Yellow Emerger

Nice dubbing stash, Bill. When I first started tying, I was into buying the dubbing mixes, but as my collection of material, especially animal pelts, grew, I began to do as you have. My big fault lies in only making tiny batches, but I have at least learned to label the mixes and their use as you ha...
