Fly Tying

Dog and Cat hair

Recommended Posts

Just finished tying a "Fall Midge Emerger" with hair trimmed from the back of my sleeping Rottweiler's legs.

 

The best lookin' part of the fly is the (dog hair) wings. I dunno if that means anything, mind you, because I can't tie worth a damn yet: "best lookin" is a relative thing.... smile.gif

 

Cheers!

 

Gary (hopin' the dog sleeps through a few more fly-tying experiments)

I've used both Cat & Dog Hair for years, the soft under coat works great. I've also use horse tail as a sort of a weed guard on dragon nymphs.

As for being illegal if any body wants to go thrugh my fly box and then tell me which ones are made with pet hair they can have them. blink.gif
