Fly Tying Materials
Over
the past 15 to 20 years, Fly Tying has experienced phenomenal
growth, to the point where many Fly Fishermen spend more time
at the bench than they do streamside.
Let’s face it, some anglers must
drive, or fly, hours to get to a Fly Fishing Destination. Since
“Practice makes perfect”, it’s easy to understand why there
are so many great fly tyers around the country and so few skilled
Fly Fishermen. No matter where you live, you can tie flies every
night in the comfort of your own home but it may be difficult
to drive to a stream or lake.
For
our Fly Tying Materials and Supplies we’ve tried to keep things
simple, offering products that are both unique and difficult
to find elsewhere. When it comes to dubbing, the main ingredient
of most patterns, we find original Rub-A-Dub Dubbing, superfine
Generation X Dubbing and the NEW Peacock PLUS dubbing fill the
bill.
These “Rubberized” dubbings allow
you to create flies with the wildest, wiggliest action imaginable.
Speaking of action, you’ll want to try “Incredible Legs” on
both wets and drys. They have a support system allowing the
use of extra-long legs that don’t tangle -and- provide amazing
action. Rub-A-Dub Wigglys and Generation X Wigglys are great
for “spiking up” any dubbing and using in dubbing brushes.
Two other tools we use a lot are the Griffin Parachute Tool,
for tying the Button, Clumpa, Speckl-X, DP Hopper and Para-Tractor,
and the Tony Tomsu Wing and Foam Body Cutters.
