McFlylon White by Hareline Dubbin — Floating, Bright Wavy Yarn for Fly Tying

Meet McFlylon White by Hareline Dubbin, a bright, wavy polypropylene yarn designed for fly tying where lightness and buoyancy matter. This material stands out for anglers who want visibility on the water and versatility in patterns.

McFlylon White is a floating, lightweight yarn with a distinctive texture. It offers more color options than standard spooled polypro yarn, and its multipurpose nature makes it a go-to choice for many tying tasks. The yarn is easy to work with in small, precise applications and stays buoyant when tied into the head or near the wing.

Key benefits

• Vivid color options that help your patterns stand out on the water
• Distinctive waviness adds dimension and movement to flies
• Lightweight composition minimizes bulk while preserving buoyancy
• Buoyant performance keeps indicators and wings afloat and visible
• Durable, quality material suitable for repeated tying use

Ideal uses

• Strike indicators to easily see the take
• Parachute patterns and underwings for stoneflies and terrestrials
• Floating components that need to stay buoyant without weighty additions

Material at a glance

Made from high-quality polypropylene, McFlylon White balances stiffness with flexibility for clean wraps and easy manipulation. Its buoyant fibers resist water absorption, helping your flies maintain a buoyant profile over time.

• Float-ready density supports buoyant indicators and wings
• Soft, workable texture aids precise wraps
• Colorfast performance under typical lighting and sun exposure
• Cut cleanly into short segments without fraying

Tying tips and best practices

Pair McFlylon White with thread and coatings that complement its buoyancy. Clip clean segments for precise lengths, and align the waviness to accent the body of your fly. Its buoyancy makes it a practical option for floating elements.

Storage and handling help maintain performance. Keep away from direct heat and UV exposure to preserve color integrity and flexibility.

Practical ideas and patterns

Try McFlylon White across a range of patterns from small terrestrials to larger stonefly nymphs. The material’s visibility and float help create lifelike, buoyant silhouettes that catch the eye of the angler watching the line.
