Can't believe you'd kill one of your own animals just for fly tying materials and some stew :D . We need to go fish that in the muddy water tomorrow, looks like I will have the day off. :oh-noes:

Another great fly, and possibly the justification I needed to just suck it up and buy some jig hooks.

Who's the next tyer?

Myself? Ah, I'd be flattered.

Next tyer is Nick Granato. Pretty excited about doing his flies. I am going to mess with some video of my new REALLY cool dubbing brush spinner with his stuff.

Granatos stuff is solid for sure! He just seems to put so much on a hook.

I've never fished it much but I do like his craft fur heads big time.

I can't make or shape a craft fur brush/head to save my life so I just stick with spinning deer hair unfortunately I suck at that also.

They aren't too hard once you get the hang of them. I've always spun them in thread in a loop, but people who mess wwith them a lot make them separate from the fly, before tying it down and wrapping it on.

The key to them at least for me is having all the real long craft fur hairs out and the shorter more even stuff only in the loop. When you wrap it forward you have to brush everything back with each wrap. They just take some time getting used to. Combing them back helps after you have finished wrapping them as well. I can try and take some pictures sometime and put them up.
