Tip
Tip: Start dubbing with a thin noodle; leave plenty of room up front to tie the front piece, and do not wrap dubbing too far forward or finishing becomes hard
How to do it: Begin dubbing with a thin noodle, reserving front room, and avoid wrapping dubbing too far forward
Mistake it fixes: Wrapping dubbing too far forward, crowding the finish
Why it works: Thin dubbing from the start with front room reserved allows clean finishing. Over-forward dubbing crowds the head.
When it matters most: Fly tying, dubbing
