That is nice! I like the twisted wire and dubbing technique.

Very nice fly, Ruard! I also tye soft hackle flies with wire dubbing brush bodies and love the results. I think the wire in the dubbing brush adds a bit of weight to the patten, which makes them fish a bid deeper. They are also extremely durable flies. Great fly!

hi Ray,
Dubbing brush makes me think of something made by someone else. I make a loop on the fly insert some dubbing and twist like a splitted thread.
