These are fantastic tips. This pattern, although simple, can give people fits on obtaining that upright wing and full 180 coverage. Choosing the right hair and getting the position on the shank right are both critical. Great tutorial!!

I thought you were tying a super simple caddis for a moment...but you gave me a great idea anyway..a one clump deer hair caddis..its that time of year here in colorado...lots of rain and caddis hatches off the hook....thanks

Thank you always TL!

Another great tip! I was having problems with the deer hair spinning around the hook while I'm trying to tie it I think this will help solve that problem thank you

Thanks Tim, can you do a video on selecting appropriate deer hair, and tips on where to source ideal material for smaller deer hair dries in these modern days?

I must ask, any idea how many flies you have? Lol

The question I really want to know the answer to (and I'm sure it's somewhere in your videos as well as others) - but I'm looking for the definitive foolproof answer: There's times you want to flare the deer hair 180 degrees, and times you want to spin it an even 360 around the hook. I've done both successfully and also attempted both unsuccessfully. I assume Part 1 of the answer is in the hair itself - aside from being labeled "comparadun" or "spinning" - what is it specifically about the hair that causes it to behave one way or the other? Part 2 has to be technique, but no one really ever explains it very well. I think at some point we've all tried to spin deer hair around a hook and the whole clump moves around the hook and never spreads out evenly and other times it just happens to work out magically. What's the critical difference?
