Dubbing recipes

[Dropper]

I got into modifying factory dubbing a little while back and found I can get some great results in matching nymphs in different rivers. I like to mix a dark gray and copper paxtons antron blend with lots of guard hairs for hare's ear nymphs and I have had great success with it. Do any of you guys have special blends for Iso nymphs or any other flies in our area?

I never have but that sounds very interesting. You found the specific mixed flies to be more effective than standard dressings?

In some areas absolutely. The standards are tried and true and will always produce fish, but if I roll rocks and find one stream has abnormal colored nymphs I try to simulate that. There is a small stream that is a few miles from me where the nymphs are extremely pale in color so I make a hares ear dubbing with a little mask, cream and tan and a bit of gray. Then use tan wire for the rib and dun mallard flank for the wing case. It really smokes in that stream. Add a copper bead for weight and it's all over.
