    Default Materials from the House

    This fly I made from my own copper wire from a cable, the scud is from an Amstel 6 pack. I made my own dubbing brush tool.

    The only things I paid for was the dubbing, lead wire and Hook.

    Comment and crits please!

    It will catch fish.

    Dubbing you can collect from the tumble dryer.
    Evertime there is a different color garment in, you have different color dubbing.
    Some of the finest dubbing you will get comes from the filter in the tumble dryer.

    Also, the hairs from the shoulder mane of my jack russel, make excellent mayfly tails. If you have a persian cat, the stomach hair can be used for awesome blends.

    The only dubbing I've ever seen come out of a tumble drier's filter has been grey...no matter what colours you are tumble drying.

    Brushing my labradors though...different story. I have 3...one is tan, one is cream/white and one is black.

    Nice fly - pity it is on a circle hook.
    Normal copper wire will tranish fast - UTC coloured wire is actually only copper-coloured & will not tarnish...

    Sometimes, when I reach into my pocket for my keys or change, a little ball of dubbing magically appears. Strange.....
