  5. North American Fly Patterns

  13. Fly Tying Topics
    Need some advice, I like wrapping 1/2" copper tubes in dubbing and wrapping them in wire. The thing is the dubbing always seems to give way after a few hours swimming my runs. May be i should move to flat braid but the dubbing looks good and works ! Where am I going wrong ? Thanks SH
