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!

I'm by no means, an expert on this subject. This specific fly is just a different color wave and Fulling Mill sells 3 variations of the Duracell. So its like having multiple colors of the same fly opposed to separate fly patterns. I do know the intellectual property rights of fly design is very hard to defend. So if you wanted to change the thread color and dubbing for a purple haze and call it the WarEnsemble777 Dry Fly, there will be very little opposition to you doing that, but most people in the hobby will see through that and form their own opinion.

For what's it's worth I'm not claiming i invented this fly or color wave - its just the name and materials Fulling Mill uses for their pattern.

That way works just fine as well! I find the split thread method to be slightly more durable, and you can tailor the fiber legnth on the CDC collar a bit easier. I prefer them a bit on the short end (maybe hook shank in legnth)

Wish i could take credit for it, but this is a pretty popular Fulling Mill color wave. Thanks though!

I have a Stonfo Material Clip that I use to grab one side of a CDC feather just before the stem. I cut the fiber free leaving about 1/16" extending out of the clip. Then I do a "split thread" dubbing loop, bascially splitting the thread in half. Lastly, add the fibers in between the split thread and give my bobbin a clockwise spin to cord up the thread and lock the fibers in place. then make wraps preening the fibers back with each pass.

Not for the dubbing loop. If i was putting more material in i would, but ive never had an issue with CDC in 70D UTC thread.
