Tip
Tip: Keep dubbing thin, build the abdomen from the back, and leave room for wing and thorax
How to do it: Apply dubbing thinly, building the abdomen from the back, reserving room for wing and thorax
Mistake it fixes: Dubbing thickly and crowding wing and thorax space
Why it works: Thin dubbing from the back gives a tapered abdomen. Reserved front space allows proper wing and thorax placement.
When it matters most: Fly tying, dubbing
