deerhairdan and TC - beautiful bugs!

Fugly tight. I appreciate it.

Lol you have been sitting back with popcorn reading other threads havnt you?

 

 

 

Sometimes its best to be a fly on the wall. I have nothing to offer that "conversation". To each his own.

 

Here are some foxy brush and bucktail shrimp with a orangy/pinkish underbody for a cool effect.

I have only tried tying with deerhair a couple times, so today i decided to give it a serious try to hone my skills. Definitely something i have to do more of. Go easy on me guys

Roedeer hair (i belive)

Brown foam for ears and 4mm eyes (both glued on)

 

Papa, that mouse will definitely work! I don't even bother putting eyes or ears on mine and they still catch fish!

PAPA...that,s my kind of mouse, I don,t pack anymore. I want them to sit low, not bounce on top like a bobber. And the more scraggy the better. Your mouse is perfect. Don,t mess with it, if you wantto catch more fish...and diver dive deeper...and fish hold on longer...Good luck.

Very beautiful fly. Do you mind me asking, what kind of deerhair are you using and also do you use a packer(if so what kind).

I get all my deer hair from Pat Cohen's website, www.rusuperfly.com

 

The packer I use is his Fugly Packer. I only used it on that fly to clear the hook eye. There's only two "stacks" of hair on this one, one behind the lead eyes and one in front, top and bottom. Can't really pack much due to the lead eyes in between.
