Keeping it simple.

I thought I better record my Deerhound flies because this is the last one in my box. It is tied on a size 10 B175. I normally prefer smaller and lighter size hooks. I have been developing theses successfully for a number of years. Nothing startling in the tying, but fish takers in the summer months.
Hook: Kamasan B170 or 175 in a variety of sizes depending on conditions.
Body: Flat silver tinsel.
Rib: Silver wire.
Wing: Natural  deerhair with 2 or 3 strands of Krystal Flash.
Head: Hare's fur.
The fly should be slim like my dogs.
