MeddelandeNick,
Cool fly. Better name.
Also try this.
After you make your rope with the dubbing and hackle, compress it towards the
hook and re-tighten (like the shaping segment). This works best if you use
monofilament for the core (or wire), and things get tight and friction fights
you.
You may have a 3" long rope that you can compress 30-50%, and it will look way
buggier, with better segments, and more dense. It will also feel more
life-like to a fish.

Subject: [VFB] Another quick rope dub test...
... before I sit down with the Fanatic Swap flies again:
Materials: Opossum & Ice Dubbing (Rust-Red-Nat. Brown) + black saddle
hackle...
Rock hard, segmented... and with a hackle that's as close to bullet proof as
you can come.
If I was to chose ONE hackled fly that I had to use for an entire season
"SHOITRT" ("Saddle-Hackled Opossum & Ice Tricolor Ropodubbus Testus")
