I get lots of questions about dubbing, which is a simple process that we sometimes complicate with hundreds of different blends and as many opinions on how to apply it. But it's an essential skill in fly tying, so Tim [35:18] and I spend a whole podcast exploring types of dubbing, when you would use them, and different methods of applying this essential material. Tim is always a fun guest and this one is no exception.   In the Fly Box this week, we have a some great tips from listeners and of course plenty of questions, including:

• A great tip from a listener on how to estimate a fly line size using a kitchen scale.
• Does UV resin dry completely?
• Can I add head cement to the head of my Elk Hair Caddis?
• What is the protocol for tipping at a fly-fishing school?
• When you carry extra lines to the river, do you put them on extra spools or carry extra reels?  And where do you put them?
• I have some 20-year-old tippet I was given. Should I use it?
• Do you have any recommendations for easily transferable materials that can be used for fry flies as well as streamers?
• A tip from a listener on how to safely carry a full-size camera when fishing.
• Where do baby carp hide? I never see them.
• Does adding split shot make it harder to hook fish?
• A tongue-in-cheek story about using songbird feathers on flies.
• I want to buy a house on a trout stream. What should I know before I do this?
