lite brite and seals fur.
i agree, the dubbed body creates a strong profile. I like a 6 double in streamy water- total length about 3".

Hi folks, just wondering what lite bright is? I've been tying my own flies for years but have never used this, at the same time though have always heard it mentioned in patterns. Am am i correct in thinking it's basically sparkly dubbing? cheers

thinking the same thing and wondering how to make one Get some probe clips and glue the bottom into a recess in the wood. www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=46648&doy=11m3Some tackle shops sell them with a wire loop on as EZ Hackle pliers, cost more though and you don't need the loop. |

you could do worse the stands are nice- a big help when you have a lot of flies to do. yellow shrimp Tail:black fox above and below yellow Arctic Runner - dont use too much fox in each bunch. Couple of stands of pearl twinkle. Body: Small oval silver tag rear body silver lite brite front, black seal fur, rib,#14 flat pearl tinsel Wing:Black Arctic Runner, with one or two strands of pearl angel hair Hackle: Yellow C o ck Mairi's Shrimp Tail: claret bucktail, tied long with pearl twinkle. Body: small oval gold tag, yellow LB then claret seal fur, flat #16 gold over seal fur only Wing: Orange Squirrel with JC over Hackle: claret tight lines |
