Tried a different clump of deer hair tonight and found that it spun much easier! I think I am making some progress as I try to tie a goddard caddis. It is becoming an obsession! Now, if I could do them in less than 20 mn!

Some recent ties . Briminators, thunder creek minnows, madame X hoppers, and a muddler. Need to work on the hair spinning, stacking, and packing lol.

Hey Mark - I like that muddler. Spinning deer hair is a challenge...
Thanks! It certainly is. Hoping to get some gsp thread and deer belly heair sometime. Been wanting to learn more about deer hair work. Looks really fun

Nice work Mark, the muddler on the right has a well packed head. I struggle with muddlers to keep the head sparse enough to sink, but packed enough to give the profile that I want.
I'm struggling with that as well. I'm very new to hair techniques. Trying to improve and learn. Definitely an experience haha. Have popped the thread quite a few times sending hair everywhere
.Continuing with my deer hair practice with some more muddler variants. Two matuka muddlers and two pine squirrel zonker muddlers. Slowly getting the hang of it I think.
Flies from tonight. Really having fun with these
Getting smaller haha. One size 10 and two size 12 tonight. Two marabou muddlers and a feeble attempt to a more classic muddler lol. First time working with any kind of quill slips lol. Definitely needs work
Flies from tonight . A couple more woolly worms and some attempts at some other hopper patterns. The letort hopper and the gartside hopper. They need work
