What Are You Tying Today?

Sulphur sparkle dun with EP Trigger Point fibers for the abdomen.View attachment 1641238704

That looks excellent.

Is deer’s hair absolutely necessary for these to work? I tried tying with it and it just kept breaking and driving me nuts, so I tied this size 20 imitation of yours using saddle hackle (trimmed), and all floating materials. I could have done better getting a more backward sweep of the wing.

Is your deer hair from a material kit? If your deer hair is breaking it’s junk and should be thrown away. Pick up a new patch of “comparadun” deer hair. A small patch is only 3 or 4 bucks.
