Yep, doesn't dub very well otherwise.

Subject: Re: [VFB] Had to share this one. Alpaca
Alpaca (llama) is perfect for the rope fub as the hair tapers off as it is
drug out of the bunch, and this creates a perfect taper on the body. It
makes great dry flies (holds floatant) or wet flies (wire core).

I wish I had seen you rope dub years ago. Making a huge difference w/ the
alpaca, I'm redoing all of them. Not sure I really want to thank you for
that, but they will be better fliesJ

Guys,
Had to share this- made my day.
This endorsement ranks right there with Tony's, as they are both equally
famous. All comments are important to me,
but those coming from famous tiers carry a lot of weight. He's also been
tying forever, so it really boosts my confidence.
For those who don't know Bob, he's an east-coast tier who is world-famous
for his realistic patters, right up there with Blackstone, Whillock, and the
others.
Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Rope Dubbing is a well done DVD clearly demonstrating a variety of dubbing
material techniques on the one thing that often gives tyers (and not just
beginning tyers) trouble- the natural fur and synthetic material dubbing of
a fly's body. Don, a natural on camera, presents his quick and easy methods
in an unpretentious, best friend demonstration that anyone watching should
be able to pick up on their first try. Especially interesting was the
thicker/thinner corrections he employs to arrive at the desired thickness.
Working a hackle in with the rope dubbing and thereby completing two tasks
at the same time is nothing short of brilliant. If you only buy one fly
tying DVD this year, and are looking for something new that will make your
tying hours easier, this is the one.
