Hi Jim, thanks for this lovely example. It looks very much like our local Black field cricket (Scientific name: Teleogryllus commodus). Cheers mate. Harera..

I was thinking about "Little Black Stoneflies" while tying some junk flies this morning. They show up around the middle to end of Feb here in CT. I going to be tying up my supply. Tomorrow we start gaining time, a whole 2 seconds so the long march to spring and then summer is upon us.

[@TheFlymanJim]

That sounds great.

[@mikeboule1967]

Jim what is the best dubbing for a beginner

[@TheFlymanJim]

That is a hard question to answer. It depends on what kind of flies your tying. ( wet nymph or dry ) As a rule with natural materials , fur. Fur that comes from land animals is used for wet flies or nymphs. This is because they are not water resistant. Such as with rabbit fur. Fur that comes from water animals is water resistant. Such as beaver, mink, muskrat and such. Are more suited for dry flies. It is more likely that you will get synthetic materials. For dry flies I would suggest you use Super Fine dubbing. For nymphs you should use something like awesome possum. Hare's ear or Antron. You can get these in the 12 color dispenser it is cheaper and you don't have to worry if you have the proper color.
