Semperfil Dirty Bug Yarn

Description

Specially designed with a mix of natural and synthetic materials Dirty Bug Yarn was designed resulting from our work with different dubbings. We looked at dubbings in the market and realised many dubbings including our own different types of dubbings were often ‘single colour’ dubbings. In reality if you look at a fly or nymph for example a baetis nymph it may be olive in colour but it is usually a mix of colours, nature is not monochromatic or single colour. From this we had some of our Pro Team work on what we called ‘Dirty Dubbing’ or blends of colours to make a better fly body whether it be a dry or nymph. From that work Dirty Bug Yarn was born. We took a range of essential dubbing colours and blends suitable for specific families of flies like caddis.

Without doubt dubbing is one of the more difficult skills for fly tyers to learn. Because of this Semperfli developed its range of ‘dubbing on a rope’ products, ready made yarns which can simply be tied and wound onto a hook. Developed twin strands Dirty Bug Yarn can be used straight off the spool for larger flies or split into single strands for smaller flies. We have created a range of colours we feel stunning for both new fly tyers and skilled fly tyers alike.

When we look closely at insects and invertebrates they are not just one colour but a range of mixed colours across their body. So why do we often use single colour dubbing to imitate nature? That was the big question the Semperfli Pro Team was asking. As a result we developed Dirty Bug Yarn Caddis Brown which is part of our Dirty Bug Yarn fly tying range. We call it Dirty Bug Yarn because it has the multiple colours found on insects and invertebrates, whether you are tying shrimps, baetis nymphs, caddis nymphs it does not matter. We decided to blend multiple colour materials into Dirty Bug Yarn Caddis Brown creating a 2 ply yarn so that you can tie larger nymphs or split the 2 ply yarn for smaller flies.

Dirty Bug Yarn Caddis Brown is capable of being used as what we call a dubbing rope, simply tie in Dirty Bug Yarn Caddis Brown and wrap around the hook or you can break apart the Dirty Bug Yarn Caddis Brown to make dubbing!. When we designed Dirty Bug Yarn we wanted a highly fibrous material that would look really ‘buggy’ and look natural. Dirty Bug Yarn Caddis Brown is exactly that, simple to use, highly buggy and very versatile
