Description
Nutria Dubbing is a "spiky" and translucent dubbing material with a structure that closely resembles mature seal fur. This makes it an excellent alternative to natural seal dubbing, offering the same lively movement and volume — without restrictions.
The material’s natural sheen, stiffness, and translucency make it a go-to choice for fly tiers who want to create flies with large profiles, movement, and realism in the water.
Nutria Dubbing is especially popular for large lake flies and patterns for sea trout, salmon, and steelhead, where a strong yet mobile silhouette is essential.
