I think this dabbler tying is contagious everyones tying them,
I have fished dabblers up & down my cast & have never caught on one,must be a confidence thing or my dabblers are s@$#e.

Was fishing this year on the isle of Lewis out on my float tube,I was catching steadily on muddlers & other wets ie katies & stuff but didn't have one single fish come to my dabblers,so let's just say I won't be dabbling in tying any more pardon the pun-

don't give up on them yet mate. i've had days it's the only fly that will catch. even changing position on the cast and still they take the dabbler.

I wanted to see if I could eventually catch a fish on one of those dabblers,
not too worry I've plenty more flies in my box that will catch me more fish than dabblers ever will-

Even though you didnt catch on the dabbler just may be its attraction was getting the takes on your other flies Craigie.
