Fly Tying for Beginners No 8, The F fly 

+Sean Mooney I actually prefer snow shoe rabbit or deer hair as they don'r slime up as easy as CDC. I really like CDC hackles though for subsurface flies. All the best Martyn

I love deer hair. I have told you my wife is very ill and headed for heaven. If I use deer hair in the house, as weak as she is she raises cain. Cold in Maine, U.S.A. not tying outside. So I lay a tarp down so I can clean it up before she sees it. I do love deer hair and am trying to learn to stack colors so when you cut it, patterns emerge. Not much time for practice. All the best Sean

Sean Mooney Sorry to hear about your wife Sean. Maybe you should leave the deer hair and keep her happy. All the best Martyn

I spoil her rotten and haven't used deer hair but once this year. I did it outside set up in the shade behind the house. The birds had some strange nest building material this spring, I only saw one but it had fluorescent yellow, and fluorescent orange in the side of the nest. : D Don't be too sad, she believes in God, and we all have an expiration date. I am having a hard time with it, but I talk to others about it. Her dementia is just enough to keep her happy most of the time. She still knows what she wants and all of us. Grateful for small blessings. All the best Martyn. I am the looser who can tie most flies (except classic salmon) and can't use a fly rod yet. :P

No, I am not a psychopath, My wife died last April. If you looked at the messages, they were written two years ago. I am glad you entertain yourself reading old texts but it might be a good idea if you don't respond to them. All the best, Sean

wid she, aye?
