Thanks. Great job. I tied the Veverka Shrimp last year and had to use red dumb bells instead of bead chain because I had no bead chain. No slam to Bob, but when my guide asked me what I was tying on, I told him "the drunken Veverka!" He laughed as we caught several Bones with it. Wonderful video.
How does that fly turn over? I see a physics problem. I've seen flies with far more "keel hair" on top that wouldn't turn over. I am pretty sure that bead chain needs to be dumbell in order to turn over

Hi Eri- this is Polar Fibre. It's getting tougher to find in the right colors. We have some left at the shop. Hareline's Pseudo Hair is very similar to Polar Fibre. The Pseudo Hair is my go to replacement. It is much finer and softer than standard craft fur. Works great on this pattern and is also very nice on gotchas. shop.flyfishsd.com/products/hareline-dubbin-psuedo-hair
