Uses

Spirit River's Mottled Nymph Blend Dubbing is made for use in flies that sink or are fished beneath the surface film. This makes a great choice for wet fly bodies, emergers, and nymphs, and you can count on it to match nymphs and larvae ranging from stoneflies, caddis, mayflies, midges, and even dragon and damselflies.

Comparisons

Spirit River's Mottled Nymph Blend Dubbing is pretty similar to Whitlock's SLF Dubbing in that it provides a buggy look in nice natural shades that are perfect for tying nymphs and wet flies. However, SLF tends to have a little more translucency and offers a look that's slightly less matted, but in the end, both are great options for whipping up effective subsurface patterns.
