{{+1}}Fur fly{{-1}}

Conceptually these are a very simple fly but when tied with the right materials and in the right density they are a great all round fly. You can use them as a stream fly or for polaroiding or prospecting but in my opinion they are at their best when used as an attractor fly in a team of loch style flies. Choice of fur is important. If you can get died kangaroo that's OK but my preference is rabbit fur off a zonker strip.

Process

A	Wind the thread in touching turns to the bend of the hook. Understanding hooks Tie in a tail of rabbit fur equal in length to the length of the hook. Tails on flies For size #12 Fur Flies, which is my standard size, I add 5 wraps of .010mm lead wire (or 3 wraps of .015mm lead wire) to ensure that they have negative buoyancy and also to impart and up and down swimming action. Adding weight to a fly

B	Form a dubbing loop at the bend of the hook. Dubbing loop method of dubbing Load the dubbing loop with rabbit fur.

C	Twist the dubbing loop up to form a dubbing rope. Wind the dubbing rope forward in touching turns to the eye of the hook. Tie the dubbing rope off and trim the excess.
