Description

We are very excited to announce the arrival of The Lost Fly Troutlore’s Olive Blend dubbing. The range now includes this new blend that has been many months in the making. Born from the need for just the right olive to suit a certain nymph for a certain river on the mainland, this collaboration has created a dubbing blend that will deliver results in a range of flies all across Australian trout waters.

The dubbing, which comprises of a blend of natural materials with approximately 50% Hare’s Ear for that great buggy look and a shade under 51% rabbit. But don’t be fooled into thinking this is just another Hare’s Ear dubbing like all the others. This is an extremely soft, workable dubbing. Yet, many of the fibers are purposefully kept a little longer than usual to allow for a wider range of uses. Whilst you can still create a nice slim dubbing noodle on your thread for small nymphs, it can be teased out to achieve quite a scruffy brush that can be used on much larger flies too.

Available in one colour, a blend of three different olive shades that has been put together to match a dubbing that the Troutlore team used some years back with great success. The bending of three colours creates the perfect overall tone, yet it still has subtle variations in the fibers with lighter hairs picking up light and giving it more presence in the water. The photos of the dubbing outside of the bag give a truer indication to how it looks, a perfect olive blend for everyone’s secret nymph.

As the same might suggest, this is a custom blend and is, of course, available from the Troutlore Fly Tying Store. At Troutlore, we keep stock of every product in The Lost Fly’s range, these can all be found in the Product Brand Category.  If you can’t find the materials you are looking for, please get in touch and we will do our best to source it for you and keep it in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
