Gotcha. It's just that I thought the hairwing dun has a more upward or steeper angle of the deer hair as opposed to the Caddis angle.

I have to say, we spend so much time looking at great flies tied well, it's refreshing to me to find out that other, better tyers, have flies that they don't like very much.
I only have problems with flies that include feathers or hair or dubbing. I'm a wizard at wrapping wire however.
Anything with wings, I just can't get them right. Either too long, short, fat, or skinny, when they do come out the right size, then they're off at an angle about 45?.
For the most part, I tie wingless flies (upright wings). Unless I am tying Royal Wulffs, I don't tie wings much any more...and I only tie RW for my Father In Law.
Upright wings have gotten easier, I just dont see the necessity...they aren't much taller than the hackle, so the fish (in my mind) have to see the hackle almost as soon
No hackles bury me.
My stoneflies look like alien mutants. I have given up on those. I could read a book in the time it takes me to get one looking half right.
