No tail deer hair Humpy

Recommended Posts

It is great search pattern. It is very useful in riffles, because it swimms excellent!

Use some Orvis floating gel on the wings and this fly is unsinkable (well, almost tongue.gif ).

Well, what do you think what humpy imitates? biggrin.gif

I have always done better with no tail humpys.

 

With this yellow combination you can also make one trick more - with a black marker put on some black lines and you have perfect wasp imitation. You can also tie in some fine rubber legs and make head out of the yellow deer hair in front of the wings. wink.gif

 

One more note - deer hair is trimmed on the downer side of the fly, so that the fly always rides with the hook point in the water.

What`s your trick in order to get the right length deer hair to fold over.

For me it`s mostly luck if the wing comes out right or not.

Sometimes it`s way too small sometimes too big.

So, how do you measure the deer hair before tying it down?

A lot of practice. tongue.gif biggrin.gif

 

But pay attention - this deer hair is tied in by method of spinnig the deer hair between two strands of thread (like making a dubbing)!
