can anyone help with deer hair flies?
hey guys,
i have a bit of an issue, i have spun deer hair successfully before, but i always had a "tail" of some sorts....
i may have bit off a little more than i can chew here...
i replicate flies for people to the best of my abilities, most of u know what i can and cant do by my other posts.
i got asked to replicate this:

it apparently works well, he has had it for some time, and it is pretty chewed up.
my problem is i dont know how to start hair on a plain hook, i usually have a material bump to help, on top of that i cant get my thread to stop snapping... i will stack the top and bottom for the first set, but as soon as i try and spin the next section it wont spin and snaps the thread.....
also, i cant figure out how to get the deer tail into the body.
i can spin deer hail better than stack it... or so i thought...
this is on a size 2 hook, the (i assume to be deer tail) "legs" are about 1 3/4 inch long.... help please!!!
sincerely,
spoof
PS- i need 6, im charging 5$ a piece, if anyone would like to spin a couple for me, ill gladly give you 5$ a piece, pm me if u are interested.

if every cast caught a fish, it would be called "catching" not "fishing"
