Spun/Stacked Deer Hair Unique Fly Galleries?

[waynep]

I am looking for pictures of spun/stacked deer hair bugs. I am not looking for the normal slider / popper / divers.

I am looking for the unusual ones. Little penguins, jointed bugs that look like old time lures etc. Odd carving shapes. Anything out of the ordinary is what I would like to see. I have searched google and not found very many at all.

Anyone know of any pics? Post them if you got em ?

I might have one on my web site, look in my fishing photos album. I do a jointed rapala type minnow for smallmouth bass here in PA. Good luck, Dave

Double click on Fly tying mammology .... also look at some of the other clips from the issue... Fabrizio's bee is pretty cool too. This is basically an index to peak your interest in the magazine.

JohnD,

Thanks for that link, all I can say is WOW!!! Those are some awesome bugs, I wish I could get the color separation those guys get in their deer hair bugs, I just can't seem to get my colors as defined as the flies in that article.

Regards,

Alberto

Yes, it's a frog, but not your typical frog. Take a look. I'm impressed, wish I had these skills.

If you can find any old mid 80's Fly Tyer Magazine , Tim England did some great deer hair ties that looked like old wood plugs. Thgink you haave alread seen Don O's. Platypus, mice and Beaver deer hair flies.

That's what I would really like to find. Mike George had some on display at the Sowbug roundup a few years ago. He had a couple that looked like those old white/red wooden plugs.

Arthur Elkins in Newfoundland does some real nice work too. I can't remember his site address but a quick Google search should bring it up.
