Tying Tuesday: Deer Hair, Mayflies, and Caddis

This week’s Tying Tuesday begins off with a tutorial on the right way to tie with deer hair (a talent I desperately must develop). Then, we study an attention-grabbing mayfly sample, and finish with a fantastic caddis larva nymph. These flies ought to all have a spot in your field this fall, and I do know tying them will preserve me busy if the climate is just too foul for fishing.

Up first on this week’s Tying Tuesday isn’t a particular sample, however a improbable video that teaches a crucial talent for a lot of completely different bugs: the right way to stack and tie with deer hair. I personally don’t get pleasure from tying with hair as a result of I’m no good with it, however after watching this video, I’m impressed to offer it one other shot.

This subsequent fly is from the parents at Mountainfly Fly Tying, and it’s simply referred to as the “Little RED Dry Fly.” It makes use of purple biot and moose hair for the physique, which ought to assist it float, and it has sufficient handsome mayfly attributes that I reckon this little bug will fish.

We’ll finish with this nice tutorial on tying up a Caddis Larva, from FisherFun on YouTube. I don’t suppose anglers pay sufficient consideration to caddis nymphs, preferring to make use of basic do-it-all imitations like a Hare’s Ear or Pheasant Tail. This little bug, although, is a good match for caddis larva in any trout stream.
