Default some flies using Gerrys dubbing

Hi

I have tied up three flies using some of Gerry's Dubbing. Sorry about the quality of the pictures.

Octopus/bumble type thing
Click the image to open in full size.

Tied with sunburst olive.

bumble type fly

Tied with Rhubarb.

another bumble type fly

Also tied with sunburst olive.

I am a recent convert to synthetic dubbing from the natural dubbings. I must say that Gerry's dubbings are very good. They are nice colours, soft and the fibre length is also good.

Sorry the feedback is short at the moment. Due at work in an hour

Any critique or feedback on the flies welcome

all the best

Alan

Nice flies Alan, They should work nicely. I like the way you used Gerry's new colours.

nice ties but on that top pic it looks like the point of the hook has gone over may just be some fibre from the hackle giving that perception though
