I tie hundreds of flies each year for fresh and salt species. My go-to flies for any fish incorporate ice dub in some way or another. And that's just my point--this stuff is versatile. With an average length of 3/4-1", you can use it in so many ways. Dub it sparsely by hand for a tight, narrow bodied nymph or fry, spin it in a loop for bigger minnows and leeches, or tie a fat clump of it in to beef up baitfish patterns. The fine profile of these fibers gives them a lot of motion in the water, and it allows you to blend colors easily and trim the final product to shape without it looking like a buzz-cut.The ONLY downside to this product is that the length and stiffness is inconsistent across colors.

The pearl tends to be ideal with 1" length and fine, supple texture. But the olive is short and curly, which doesn't lend itself to use in larger patterns. The yellow and pink colors tend to be long but stiffer.Overall, though, I have no hesitations about using or recommending this product. It's caught me a lot of fish.

Thanks for speedy delivery. Tying for the veterans at Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and needed enough for the whole class.

If you haven't tried it, order some up. Especially the peacock. I substitute it in for natural peacock pretty much every time I can. I like using natural materials, but this stuff just CATCHES FISH, doesn't bust the first time it hits a rock and is incredibly easy to work with. It's also basically the only dubbing I use near the bead on midge pupa, except for superfine for when I'm fishing skinny water.Throw it in a dubbing loop, wrap it, stretch over a scudback, add a mono rib and trim the fibers to the hook point. Repeat 23 times. There, you just finished a season's worth of scuds. in two hours.
