Fly Tying: How to Stack Deer Hair 

"Gel Spun Poly Somethin Somethin".......I feel you, man.

I’m amazed with your instructions man!!!

Great video.

Really appreciate you sharing your craft to help us get better. Man this will help me a lot. I do ok, but have a long ways to go, and you just advanced me an amazing amount. Thanks a lot! 👍👍🎣

Thanks for the lesson sir!

Love it! Now I gotta try it! Looks way more fun than the foam barrel heads!

The wind got on my nerves just watching løl great work

Nice work, and nice videoing. I used to use discared "fireline" I found when fishing, until people actually seemed to stop throwing much of it in nature - good for nature, thanks to them - to tie things, that need tightness, and the thicker the thread the less it cuts through the hairs when tighetned hard. To form the body you can also use a hair trimmer or a Dremmel.

Perfect 👍

@15:35, those are double-edged razor blades. You want them flexible so you can curve them while cutting the deer hair. Single-edged blades have a thick edge to hold them and they won’t flex.

Excellent video. Beautiful fly. Are you on the staff of Nomatic now? Congrats if you are. And they are missing out if your not. Your very talented.

great video young man. I don’t the professionly but blessed to have more material than a lot of fly shops. iam. down to425-450 colors of deer hair . some patches sink , floats, or just below surface floating. according to where I cut my deer hides . I dye them to colors I developed my self . hackles 80-100 colors. it’s wonderful when using my fly rods or regular rod and reels to catch fish with your own flys and lures you made . I give away hundreds normally every year. most people I give them to use regular rods and reels with spoon wire jigs and split shots with great success after telling them how to properly use them. I only ask them to let me know what kinds of fish they catch and which works best for them. a friend came by months ago I guess I gave him around one hundred or more and didn’t put a dent in my private stock pile. that means I get to make more to replace them. Nana and papa from the foothills of the blue ridge mountains in NC wishing you well.

why do you want buoyancy except for top water? I only rarely seen top water bites in Cali.

tail recipe: flashy shit, bucktail, and a few feathers i like it

You are good tying hollow and bulkhead but stacking deer hair are terrible

This is not necessarily the correct way to spin and stack deer hair. He missed some crucial steps and techniques obviously has not learned correct deer hair spinning and you can see the gaps and inconsistencies after he cuts the fly you can see the top color blends into the bottom. Anyhow watch more videos on deer hair spinning. Note I'm sure these flys do great out there.
