OK, I know a dibble is for planting bulbs but I am clueless as to dibbling and flies/fishing. I got the dapping part with the long rod and fly blowing around.
Not sure what a real dabbler is, but I do know a dabbler fly....
Sorta confused here and now going to the store to pick up a 12pack Enjoy your weekend lads

Dibble - Bounce/skitter on water surface.
Dabble - Paticipate in a half-hearted manner.
Dabbler - Traditional style wet fly of Irish origin.

Awesome tying - what sizes?

I guess it is better to dibble than dribble.
