Found this in Trout Flies of the West. Original (tied by Ray Babineau) body was red/yellow hackle wrapped/trimmed; after playing around with the Strawman caddis, I figured I'd try it with deer hair in split thread. Practical? maybe not so much, but fun? yes.

cut clumps of red and yellow deer hair, mix and grab with clip; don't use too much or it won't spin properly in the thread loop
