A classic dry fly utilizing quite an exotic dubbing.

Dry fly
Medium
The magic dubbing for the thorax is quite a complex mix:
1/2 Wool from a ram’s indispensable part, the testicles, if you are not afraid. For the rest of us just standard wool, 1/2 cream seal’s fur. Or just add more wool.
A mixture of lemon yellow spaniel. Alternatively you can use fox fur.
A bit of the pale pinkish and very fine fur from a hare’s mask.
A bit of red mohair or red seal’s fur.
brown trout
