Specially developed with a blend of natural and synthetic materials, Dirty Bug Yarn is the result of a study of various dubbing techniques, which discovered that many traditional dubbing techniques were often "plain" dubbing. In reality, a fly or nymph, such as a Baetis nymph, may be olive green in color, but usually it is a mixture of colors - nature is not one-color or monochromatic . These color mixtures have been used to develop a better fly body, be it a dry fly or a nymph. From this work, Dirty Bug Yarn was born. Important dubbing colors and blends suitable for specific fly families such as tubeworms have also been developed to give flybinders the very best options.
For flybinders used to making their own dubbing mixes, working with Dirty Bug Yarn means no more worrying about inconsistencies or forgetting how you mixed your last mix! When tying with Dirty Bug Yarn, you can rely on a continuous, even mix. You can even mix 2 or 3 skeins of Dirty Bug Yarn for even more unique results.
It's worth noting that Dirty Bug Yarn holds air, so it can be used for flies requiring neutral buoyancy.
Synchronization is undoubtedly one of the most difficult skills for flybinders to learn. For this reason, Semperfli has developed its range of "Dubbing on a Rope" products, which are ready-made yarns that can be easily tied and wound on a hook. The developed two-strand Dirty Bug yarn can be used straight from the spool for larger flies or split into individual strands for smaller flies. There is a range of colors that are wonderful for beginners and experienced fly tying alike.
