I have a need to perform some "touch dubbing", and I found this post. As a formulation chemist, I would approach making dubbing wax a little differently. But I don't have prior experience with "Wonder Wax" to guide me, but here goes. For the stickiness, I'd start with liquid pine tar...the kind baseball players use. You can get a few ounces for $4. The toilet wax seems fine, but I might recommend thinning it with mineral oil (any drug store). Mineral oil is liquid paraffin. But maybe olive oil is just fine. Proportions? Well, I'd mix the wax and mineral oil to get the right consistency first. Then I'd add the pine tar a little at a time until I got the right tackiness. I just may do this...

South East Jutland

There's always south-east Jutland/Jylland.
There are some pretty fantastic areas from Kolding Fjord down to Hejlsminde, Anslet, and Genner Bugt.
I have fished almost the entire stretch, over many years and would pretty much say that as long as you can find a suitable stretch of water, you'll find sea trout.

Happy hunting.

Hello Tom,

You forgot the best chuck pattern of all - the usual. you can see the chuck vs. snowshoe fly in 'Wyoming or Bust' on the Wyoming Fishing network. I showed the chuck pattern to Fran and his eyes lit up.

The tubular notion can open up some curious doors...

Angry or misunderstood... I have to say that I love the fly portraits straight from the front. So much personality!

Hello duke,

Thanks for the nice comment on the pattern, you said I have added your pattern to my book!. Have you written a book?. I am interested what kind of book you have written? Please let me know. And I think it is great to tie flies with your grandson and to fish with him.

Best regards,

Tom .

That is the beautiful fly.. yes, I´m tying and tied many even more of this fly pattern. I like your fly and very well done color tones... un saludo afectuoso para ti .

Thanks Armando. These are a fun style of fly to tie. It takes some practice, but once you have it down, they come pretty quick. The biggest challenge is finding the hooks.

Hi Joel;
Gee, your compliment is really kind and very, shall I say, glowing. Thank you so much for your endorsement! I do love tying and also teaching. It's rewarding to have students learn and tell me their tying has improved as a result of my efforts. Thanks again!
