Andrew’s Scruffy Dubbing

I was recently fortunate to buy a range of Andrew Ellis squirrel dubbing, after playing around at the vice I can tell you its an amazing quality dubbing that produces the mos amazing effects both combed out to get the scruffy buggy look or dubbed as a thorax and is extremely easy to dub.

A but about it’s inventor ;

Andrew has  been fly fishing for 40 years he learned to tie flies before he learned to fly fish. Andrew has been dying and making his  own dubbing for a number of years because in his own words  ” I got fed up of having to buy lots of single ‘flat’ colours and materials to blend together to get exactly what I wanted colour and texture wise.”  The dubbing’s are supplied  ready blended  that’s got just enough spike but is easy to dub. It’s invariably made with a number of blended colours because in nature nothing is a single plain colour!   “Just dub as a noodle, touch dub or split thread, give it a wee scrub with Velcro and you’re good to go. I tie a lot of scruffy flies, by design, over the years I’ve always found that the scruffier a fly gets, the more fish it catches, so I now start fishing them looking like they do when they’ve already caught a few.”

The star of the show is the Appleby Olive blend which has caught fish all over the uk and in Newzeland , and is this named as it has caught one  the biggest fish on the Appleby beat of the Eden last year  a fish of just over 4lb.

This is the fly designed by Andrew.
