Modern Musky Meat: Bucktail Dubbing Brush Design - Best River Fly Style

A full Step by Step focused on modern style Musky Flies. This video breaks down how I build my Bucktail Dubbing Brushes for building multi-sectioned extended body flies for targeting Musky. Bucktail Dubbing Brushes are not "the allusion of bulk", as many flies claim to be, yet most still fall far short of such (besides Popovics' BEAST which is the Gold Standard). But instead, it simply builds bulk, with bulk...the results are unique. Is it supremely castable, no! But, it is supremely fishable, YES, especially in a River!
