Deerhound development stage 1


I wanted a fly I could use at the start of the season. I will have to concentrate on the photography because the photo does not do this fly justice. The rib I saw Davy McPhail use in one of his flies.
Hook: Kamasan B175.
Body: Black seals fur.
Rib: Red holographic with pearly on top.
Wing: Black dear hair.
Head: Black claret hare and seal mix.
I am not sure of the purpose of the deer hair on these heavier hooks and I intend to use fur from the dogs to see how that works.
