Thanks Dennis

Byron,

ive been using the spinning technique for about 4 years now, primarily for soft hackles . really like the results , and has a side benefit of being able to use the largest feather on the neck for size 18 flies. have not tried spinning deer hair for hackling a fly yet, but based on your results it seems as if it is in my future.

nice tie

Have fished many soft hackles since about 2000.
But, This is a dry fly pattern using deer hair.

Hi Byron,
To try to understand better, you are spinning deer hair for the collar rather than using hackle. Yes?
Thanks,
Mike

Spinning deer hair to replace using Hackle.

Thanks Bro, I’ll give it a try, I really like the effect.
