When you dub your collar, do you use a dubbing loop or make a dubbing noodle? Also, did you brush your collar to give it that look or do you go with a freshly dubbed look?
As an experienced fly tyer, I can follow these instructions. It would behoove you to elaborate on some of the steps with length of tail fibers, tie in points, and proportion ratios.
The number of times I almost bought a tying vice... But I don't usually fish with tied flies, I do use crappie type jigs that I also make and tie. And I looked and search fly tying vices for a long time and almost bought one. One day I will. Nice project though...

I use a dubbing noodle on this fly, and I did brush out the collar some. Thank you for the suggestions, I did not think to mention proportions.
