Not only are you an amazing fly tier but an exceptional teacher as well Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques,having one of your flies in hand would make practicing this pattern much easier so I hope to win one.
Thank you very much for helping us learn how to use deer hair. I’m ok at it, but want to do better, and as with anything, when you watch and listen to a Master of any craft, your own work will become better. You are the Best master artist of deer hair I’ve seen, and my flies are, and will become better. I really appreciate it. Thanks again Andreas. Best wishes to you, 👍👍👌🎣
I would have liked to have been able to watch you 30 years ago when I first taught myself to spin and stack deer hair. I enjoy watching you tie and it's seems like I always learn something from you. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.
I love the baits that you are tying. Normaly II use floating lines. Can you fish deer hair baits with an intermediate line? Where is the baitfish,...on top,..or,...just below the surface? greetings and tight lines.
Brilliant tutorial I really learned a lot of little things that I didn’t know before watching I’d like to tie some streaking caddis sizes 8 to 14 what size thread would you recommend for this application great video very well explained cheers
Hello sir! I am a new fly tier from California in the USA with a silly question. Could you use a small electric shaver to remove the hair more easily?? Also, I purchased a tool that is basically like a handle that holds a razor blade and you can bend it in a sort of "C" shape. Have you ever used one of these? It seems to me that it would be safer and easier to use. One more question. If you are familiar with the tool that I described above, please tell me if its possible to adjust or modify the degree of the curve depending on size of the hook? Thank you in advance for any feedback or advise you may offer! Tight lines!😢
This is SOOOOO well done!! I am still trying to work up the believe that I can do deer hair bugs. But.... do you "seal/close" the deer-hair heads with anything ( uv/epoxy/silicone etc)????
I tried casting these flys the other day, had a #7 wt and a tapered thick 5ft leader and the flys just bounced around everywhere and it felt impossible to cast. Do you just live with that or am I missing something gearwise that helps?
Shouldn't be too much of a problem casting this size on a 7wt, even on a longer leader than that. It can however be more demanding if you're using a fly line with a long belly, giving you the feeling that you're incapable of closing the loop while casting. I'm normally using fly lines with a 26-40 feet belly (included front and back taper), which is casting flies like this without too much hazzle.
The wet rabbit tail makes it heavier. To cast a weighted fly, you can use a Belgian cast. That keeps tension on the rod and line all the time. You will find many examples on google. Orvis has a few great videos for that.
Nice tutorial, Andreas is a very good teacher 😁Thanks a lot

What base plate are you using for your Regal vice?
Was the standard Regal vice holder not stable enough? (something that would not surprise me).
That whip finish was tight
Thank you!
Love it!!

What kind of thread do use for dear
Andreas, where do you get your Deer Hair Belly Premo Strips from? I could not find any in Europe...
