Nev,
The camera flash reflected and intensified the brightness, but that closely
mimics the material in the bright sunlight. That brightness is diminished
be submerging in water, with that amount based on water clarity and sunshine.
That being said, a one of the roped caddis patterns has a pearl underbody
and the rope segments have spaces so the pearl shines between the segments,
good for murky water.
I haven't started the blended dubbings yet, adding flash and ice-dub to the
wool.
That's another whole new ball-game. These are just to show the flexibility
of the wool itself.
Ferinstance, I'll add some chart. crystal flash and chart. rubber legs to the
leech and get a great bugger.

Hi DonO
Wow that's bright! Should be good for fishing after a heavy rain and muddied
water.

I bought some chartruese combed sheep's wool for Peggy's swap, and
while I was tying the hoppers, I experimented with the wool, applying it in
different rope-dub fashions.
The only additional material I used was some cree hackle. All of the rest
is just the wool.
Not done yet, for sure. Still need to crank out some chartruese sculpins
with this
as the spun head.
It's a very flexible material, and the color/texture is perfect. DonO
