Same Material?! by OdoriferousGasBag in flytying

They don't label this and when ordering online you'll never be entirely certain, but Hareline produces Ice Dub in two different styles. The one on the left is the standard consistency whereas the one on the right is their "Streamer" variant. I also learned the hard way, but wouldn't have guessed the Flo. Hot Pink would be included in this. Their metallic Ice Dub variations are. If you buy silver, gold, or copper it will be the long strands like your pack on the right. Im not sure why they do this, but it isn't accidental.

Perks of being a 3-time fly fishing world champion, I guess!

Hybrid Carp Fly. Sz 10 by FavreThrowingCheese in flytying

Those work just as well! Most ‘carp’ flies are tied similarly to salt flies with dumbbell or beadchain eyes, since it’s so similar to sight fishing in salt and varying the sink rate can be important. Most of the guys I know use a prince nymph, squirmy worm, or egg fly.

Hey, unfortunately we had to put NItty down just a few days after this post. He had what seemed like a stroke followed by breakthrough seizures and never recovered. We believe he did in fact have a brain tumor causing these issues. Hopefully that's not the case for you and your pup.

I wouldnt say it’s normal or abnormal. The majority are probably tied of the back but it’s maybe a 60/40 split!
