Richard,
This looks like a great fly & I’d like to tie some up & test them on some big browns/bows in the spring. Can you give me info on making the “shaggy dub rope” & how you create it please?
Kind regards
Capt Chris Vogue

Chris,
sorry for such a late response, I just found this link. As for the rope, I just spin a dubbing brush out of gold or silver ultra wire with holographic ice dub and micro rubber legs (senyo shaggy dub, swishers g-x wigglys etc). When done I just wrap the wire dubbing brush on the shank of the hook to create the flashy underbody that you see in the video. If you want to learn a bit more about this technique, in my vimeo library there is a video for building a home made dubbing block. I go over how to make brushes in there. Best.

I mix up the body colors, typically one of three are what I use, either holographic gold, holographic silver or pearl typically. Mix it up.
