    Nice! Looks like it would work great as a general mayfly. Nice little bug.

    I like how the dubbing comes out on these-- what do you usually use?

    Cheers

    Brian,

    The dubbing I'm using is Arizona synthitic dubbing from Metz. The look comes more form the way I apply the dubbing, I'm using a dubbing loop for the thorax. It gives a really spiky look to the thorax
