TOUCH DUBBING
(painstakingly prepared by elves)
Custom supplies for LaFontaine Patterns
Our readers kept asking about the special items used on Gary's flies.
Getting into the business of supplying fly tying materials has been great.
And, since we have our special Sparkle Yarn (custom colors with 35% clear Antron fibers), we decided to offer another product to our Book Mailer customers
This is the fastest way to dub; no other method will form bodies as sparse and fuzzy. It is used for the bodies on Sparkle Pupa patterns. It is an absolutely essential part of the Double Magic dubbing technique.
recommended teaching tool for this method
the "Fishing and Tying Caddisflies video.
The segment on the Sparkle Pupa shows how to touch dub
The yarn or fur has to be chopped into small bits by hand and then tossed into a blender. The tier uses a tacky wax (for example, BTs Super Tacky) to coat the tying thread, and then he holds a ball of the finely cut dubbing mix and touches that ball to the sticky thread. His fingers never touch the thread just the dubbing ball. That's it! Dont be afraid of the sparseness. Just wrap the fuzzy thread onto the hook shank.

Each package contains enough of the dubbing mix to tie about 100 flies.
