Doing some eggi jaun kenobi flies, want the egg to be the front end of a san
Jaun worm on the back. The egg size I'm hoping for is about 1/4 inch total
diameter, with the pink center and Oregon cheese on the outsides with a bit
of pink peeking out. Mine look like flat tops. Do you add the irredescence
as you dub or at the final few wraps? If you're doing it by tying in the glo
bug yarn, would you use 3 or four pieces of yarn, smaller of course to fit
the size of the fly. These are size 10 1120 Diiachi hooks. Help is
appreciated.
I've watch jean pettijean use a dubbing spinner technique for other flies
and wonder does this work for egg patterns as well. I've no problem tying
big Fat Alberts for AK. Help is appreciated. Joyce

Joyce,
Do you have a preferred size or size range in mind?
Do you have a pattern/look that you want to acheive?
Do you want a yolk? Tied in or markered?
Do you want irridescence?
I tie a lot of eggs with a lot of materials. I've tied a lot of 'carpet
flies'- giant eggs the size of a golf-ball for Alaskan fishers, who swear by
it. McFlyfoam egg-yarn works great for these.
I also rope-dub ice-dub, overwrap to a ball, tie off, brush out, and trim
round. Makes for a UV flash egg, any size, any color. Takes practice to
get the wraps right to make a round ball- kinda like a compressed scud.
What makes the difference is whether you fasten the thread down so it
cannot turn, and then spin to dub it, or whether you start the dubbing on
the thread, pick the bobbin thread out of the holder and just let the
bobbin and thread rotate in your hand. If you do the latter, it is a rope
dub and you can slide the dubbing up and down at will ... Joyce- I need
to sit and watch you do this. SowBug?

What makes the difference is whether you fasten the thread down so it

the thread, pick the bobbin thread out of the holder and just let the
bobbin and thread rotate in your hand. If you do the latter, it is a rope
dub and you can slide the dubbing up and down at will . I often slide the
dubbing up to be fatter as I get to the thorax part of the fly but you have
to give a few extra spins sometimes if you forget to spin, turn, dub in a
counter clockwise position, which I frequently do. I dont have the dubbing
skill that Larry does, so I most usually just push the dubbing up the thread
to be fatter. Need to improve my techniques.
Now, a different question. I HATE tying anything with glo bugs yet need
to do a bunch for a eggi jaun fly..I've looked at all the Youtube videos
showing how to tie that fly as well as glo bug flies, and theirs turn out
great. Mine look like buzz cut blobs of egg yarn. Has anyone done a split
thread dubbing for a glo bug and have it come out looking great? Are there
any tricks I should know? One tyer says, cut the yarn straight across. the
other says to cut on a curve. Im open to suggestions by those who are more
in the know than I am.
