A couple close up photos of the "Dirty Rat" dubbing blend. The color of the dubbing blend looks slightly different, depending on the intensity of light. A feature that I think will work well, in a fishing fly. The combination of muskrat underfur, blended with dyed seal fur, has a nice translucency and natural camouflage quality. I really like how natural the color blend looks in a nymph pattern. Definitely worth exploring some more.
