Chuck.
I sent you lots of samples of 'ice dubbing'
flies. Byard carries it. Rope-dub it (vfb demo) all the way down
to size 28. Pick at it with a blade or needle, and it will look just
like cactus chenille. Blend for any effect you want.

Subject: [VFB] Tying on #16 and smaller
hooks
Folks: I was wondering if anybody else has trouble with things
like chenille covering the hook gap on #16 and smaller hooks??? Seems that
even when I use Micro chenille it wants to fill in the hook's gap and
thus, I get bites, but lose a lot of fish...And, if I start up farther from
the hooks bend, I only get about one good wrap, or then it covers the hook's
eyes???? I tried going to a 3/0 thread body, and/or unraveling a regular
knitting yarn, and using a strand of it,and using floss as well, but I
lose the "sparkle" of the "crystal chenille" that attracts the fish.. Thanks
for any ideas..Thanks, Chuck
