2025 Winter Fly Tying Series: Dubbing Mixing for the Flash Nymph

In a previous video, we demonstrated how to tie the flashback nymph. In this this one, we share some tips on how to make the dubbing for the fly - it's more about tying techniques and tips, than the fly itself. Hope you find it helpful. As always, please leave a comment and hit the like button!

Thanks for the great tips. What do they call the flash back material at craft stores? One suggestion to improve video quality would be to increase lighting.

[@JayPeckGuidesLostRiversFishing]

We are working on that

Thanks Jay, great demo. I like the way you feed the dubbing from the "chip" fingers to the thread fingers when you dubbed the abdomen. The thorax was a little different from what I do, in that the length of your DIY dubbing is much longer than the dubbing I use from the hide or the package. I also pick it out for "legs" or on bigger nymphs use a feather folded over the thorax before folding over the wing case. You must get a lot of movement with those long fibers as legs. I'm going to try that. Thanks again for an excellent tying session.

You are welcome!

Usually I would use the flash material to go over only the thorax and wrap the copper over the dubbed body, is tying it this way more effective?…
