Ice Dub by Hareline

One of the most iconic fly tying materials out there—and for good reason. Ice Dub brings unbeatable shimmer and durability to everything from nymphs and emergers to streamers and saltwater baitfish. Made with ultra-reflective synthetic fibers that mimic the flash of real scales, it’s the sparkle that makes fish commit.

Easy to dub, mixable with other materials, and available in both standard and UV colors, Ice Dub is a must-have on every bench—whether you're crafting trout teasers or steelhead slayers.

Red's pro tip: For a lifelike, translucent effect on smaller flies, try tying in Ice Dub as a dubbing veil instead of a full noodle. Pinch a tiny amount and loosely dub it around the thread just behind the thorax or head—then brush it out gently. This creates a soft halo or shimmer that mimics trapped air, gas bubbles, or micro movement in emerging insects. Deadly on midge pupae, caddis emergers, and soft hackles.
