I have been doing some research on different finishes for fly bodies. I really like this concept. And it’s environmentally friendly.

Everything you ever wanted to know about dubbing
Dennis Shaw wrote a lengthy article over at The Way of the Fly on dubbing, including tools, techniques, handling the dubbing without dirty hands, blending your own dubbing using a coffee grinder and way too much other stuff about dubbing I never wanted to know.

Big Kype Production: Tying a Stone Fly
Here is a video tying a stone fly like the one I posted about in Stone Fly Revisited. The detail is not very good and you probably can’t really see what’s going on. I suppose this type of video is better suited for large flies. This was a late at night, just wanting to see how it would work out type of thing. I will try to do better next time.
I must supplement this video with a photo to better show the final product. Use dubbing loops to create a better body and buggy effect.
