Hook - Hanak Thread - Fish On ultimate tying silk (Black) Tag - UTC Mirage Opal Legs - Veniard Pre tied knotted pheasant tail (Natural) Dubbing - Nature Spirit Golden Brown Wing - Coastal Deer Hair This is just a fancy variation on the FM Daddy, incorporating deer hair into the mix. There is few materials that will strike fear into the heart of a new fly tier that deer hair its messy and it can co wrong really fast. It’s no reason to not give it a go and this simple pattern may well be a good place to start. A great pattern for fishing static or even pulling through a good wave. There are more natural colours of detached body but the orange is super effective and can pull fish up from nowhere. Whats your go to Stillwater dry fly? Let me know in the comments section below.
