Swissflies natural dubbing

RETOUR à LA NATURE !

Is it really compatible for a fly fisherman to want to go out into nature - and to use synthics for fly tying that pollute nature? Or even working with feathers or skins from animals that are endangered or have been kept in conditions that are contrary to animal welfare?

Swissflies offers therefore natural fibers or hair of the animals living on Swiss pastures, in the Swiss Alps and in the Swiss forests. Treated just as much as needed to keep it as good as nature has made it.

Swissflies Natural Kapok Dubbing

Kapok is a quick-drying, moisture-resistant, resilient and floating natural fibre that is only 1/8 the weight of cotton.

Kapok carries 30 times its own weight.

It is very fine and therefore perfect as a dubbing for dry flies.

The fibres have a natural wax that gives this material the ability to float extremely well and for a long time.

Kapok can easily replace any synthetic superfine dubbing and more than that, it is biodegradable!

Natural, beige/ Danica

Swissflies only offers natural Kapok (ideal for mayflies and light cahill), because parts of the natural wax layer are inevitably lost during dyeing.

We recommend mixing (blending) Kapok with other types of dubbing in order to obtain different colours and at the same time increase buoyancy.

Swiss Dubbing O

Swiss Dubbing O

The Swissflies Dubbing O is made of natural hair.

Did you ever think about the animals- standing outside with days of rain? no problem for them- they may seem wet outside- but the skin gets never wet- because the animal hair has a high content of natural fat, preventing the water to enter. The treating process of Swissflies keeps this grease in the dubbing, but cleans and desinfects the hair.

This dubbing makes your flies swim long and high.
