Recommended Posts

RUH - Real Ungulate Hair; had to change the name since I used elk for the body/wing and moose for the tail in addition to the deer hair hackle. A single wing (semi-comparadun) would have saved some steps; change color/size to suit your needs.

 

 

hook Dai Riki 300 #10

thread/rib - UTC 140 tan

tail - moose body hair

hump/wing - yearling elk hair bleached

body - dubbing dun

hackle - deer hair

 

Mash barb, start thread at 3/4 mark, wrap to bend

Wrap hackle, tie off/trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN (optional - trim hackle underneath); looks like the tail came up just a bit short but it should still balance the fly
