Troutline Nutria Dubbing

Troutline Nutria Dubbing is a super spiky, translucent dubbing with a texture remarkably similar to mature seal fur, making it an excellent alternative to natural seal dubbing. Its shininess, stiffness, and natural translucency make it a preferred choice for fly tiers looking to create flies with volume and lifelike movement.

This dubbing is particularly popular for big lake flies, as well as seatrout, salmon and steelhead patterns that require a bulky yet highly mobile profile in the water.

Nutria Features:

• Mix between under fur and guard fur – spiky and shiny for a natural look
• Excellent translucency, mimicking natural seal fur
• Medium difficulty to dub – best used in a dubbing loop for secure attachment
• Perfect for big, voluminous lake flies, salmon and steelhead flies
• Great for big nymphs and big river flies, especially for creating buggy, spiky thorax areas

Usage Recommendations:

• Ideal for nymphs – Adding a turn of Nutria Dubbing behind a bead creates an incredibly buggy, spiky look.
• River flies – Used to form dense, spiky thorax areas for enhanced movement and realism.
• Seatrout flies – Perfect for tying large, hairy flies for traditional Scandinavian style of flies

Fly tiers who appreciate the unique properties of seal fur will love Nutria Dubbing as a high-quality alternative. Whether you're tying big lake flies, salmon flies, or ultra-spiky nymphs, this dubbing provides the perfect balance of translucency, spikiness, and shine for maximum effectiveness in the water.
