Wes, try the Utah on the Fly board at the following url: http://www.utahonthefly.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62&highlight=brooks+leech
Jeff Brooks has a bunch of recipes for spectrumized dubbing blends for leeches. Maybe one of these will help. Bruce Whittle PS if the url does not work, go to utahonthefly.com and go to fly tying then forums and search "brooks leech" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wes Wada" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 9:31 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] A flytyer's trip to Portland Hi Mark, good hearing from you. I have found out that this product is being distributed by Rumpf but is actually John Roemer's Arizona Simi Seal dubbing, Canadian brown. It is a mixture of mohair and Antron. Unfortunately, it also appears to be unavailable online. Found one site that had other colors, but not the Canadian Brown. At least I know it is still being produced, so somebody should be able to order it for me. I am going to try to use my Canadian Brown mohair color formula to mix my own Antron Canadian Brown. Trick will be to find appropriate colors, particularly the bronze brown color and the soft light yellow. The other colors (claret, kelly green, black) are easy to find. In another related note, Hareline Dubbing is now marketing packages of Antron dubbing. If you want to mix a subtle but very effective flash material into your dubbing, this is the best stuff IMHO.
