In #73 of Skill Builders, we focus specifically on the body of the iconic Copper John, a legendary pattern designed by John Barr—to show you how to achieve that perfect, segmented look. I demonstrate a unique, effective method for blending wool dubbing to craft realistic dry fly wings, and I share my go-to techniques for combining natural and synthetic fibers to build durable, lifelike fly bodies.
