Re: [VFB] re: steelhead flies
Joyce, thanks for the purple squirrel-tail. It must have lived in New Orleans at Mardi-Gras time. LOL Now I will have to try some 'Perpul Peruls' with Purpil Squirwul. Yes, rope-dubbed, gap-roped, hackle-roped- all will be tried. And the answer is yes, I hve roped many steelhead and salmon flies using ice-dub, seal, syn-seal, polar bear, and synthetics. I usually tie them up for shows for the give-aways for fly plates and contributions, etc. I'll send a package back for you to try.

I've a bunch of purple perils to tie, and I'm thinking that rope dubbing them would be quicker and look as good as the standard chenille and yarn type bodies. What do you think?
