Barry, never in a million years would j have figured this out without your input. Everything I did would have been awkward and wrong. I much prefer this to the feather hackle and will undoubtedly the it. Thank you!
Shazzam!! It's an Alabama wow. Thanks, I like my magic tools. I started tying Deer Hair bugs with a cheap vise and I had to spin it and pack it. Great Video.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT!! deerhair is always a hard job to manage and u did it more than perfect!! i love that pattern!! will try it def!!!! good job mentor!!!
Superb scissor work, I’m definitely going to get one of those Swiss clamps to help with my deer hair work, thanks again for another great tutorial,cheers Jimf
Have to make this one .Haven`t been tying that long maybe 6 months . I love to tie deer hair it`s easier for me than a lot of these other material especially tying on a dubbin . Thanks for the video
Hi Mary, if you make jewelry, I am sure that you will get the hang of fly tying without much difficulty. If you do intend to start may I suggest that you consider purchasing my most recent book: www.amazon.com/Feather-Benders-Flytying-Techniques-Comprehensive/dp/1510751505/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3EVWUG8VRBV58&dchild=1&keywords=barry+ord+clarke&qid=1618814707&sprefix=Barry+ord%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-1 This will give you a good introduction into materials, tools and techniques for many different patterns. Good luck! If you need any further help please don't hesitate to contact me.
That is slick, very slick way of doing spun deer hair! I am going to give this one not only a try but, I have a special place where I live with lots of wild brooks and brown trout! There are endless combinations of color you could use too! I have been using Moose hair for tails on dry flies like the Adams for a good 40 years now, I like flies that are quick to tie and durable! For me, a well tied dry fly or any fly period has to last for at least 25 to 35 fish! Of course in my salt water fishing I reduce that number a bit, or if the trout is 26" plus then I don't mind if the fly is not usable again, for a 26" or better trout, the fly does not owe me anything!
Thanks so much for the great information in this video. I got the Peltex and clip to modify. I would love to know how wide the hide is on the strips you cut. I live in Maine U.S.A. so we get mostly white tail deer hair. All the best, Sean
Hi Barry- just out of curiosity wouldn't it be easier to build the deer hair body just by spinning it on the hook in the traditional manner. THis way seems more difficult....enjoy your videos very much.
Hi Brian, Thanks. This was meant as a tutorial to show how to spin deer hair in a dubbing loop as many tyers have difficulty with spinning it. Also the best way to make a deer hair hackle is in a dubbing loop.
Thanks for your tutorials. I've been trying the various techniques after taking a steelhead tying class locally & learning which flies I enjoy tying the most. It's been a blast. I promised a couple of flies to friends that live across the country and was revisiting the irresistible & realized I was splitting the thread to spun the hair rather than looping it. Seems to work fine but haven't fished it yet to see how it holds up. Do you mind a brief comment on splitting vs loop or a video? I'm interested in your book as well. Is there more elaborate detail with regard to materials & technique? Your videos are great!
Hi Will, I sent you an e mail. but heres a little more. Splitting the thread is for light materials such as CDC & marabou when you are using heavier materials such as deer hair you will need a stronger thread as the hair needs a much tighter spin, if you do this with split thread it will break. When putting deer hair in a dubbing loop you should use a strong thread such as Dyneema or GSP.
@@Thefeatherbender I just picked up Mr Clarke's book. I highly recommend it as per suggestion - it fills in details/questions you may have regarding materials & methods used in the video. The more you tie the more questions come up and his book is great at helping to fill in the gaps. Thanks again.
The feather bender your videos all only have option of going up to 320p which is about 1/3rd of the way to full, clear HD. Where as most have several options more than that when trying to change video quality resolution up to 1080p :) would just be great to see them a bit clearer is all. (I'm running high speed, ultrafast cable Internet at home to view them)
Hi Luke, I would love to download in HD, but when I download, RUclips recommend the best option for ALL devices, PC, Mobile etc, it says that if I download in HD mobile users will not be able to view the videos and since 40% of all my views are on mobiles not sure if I should do this! This is all new to me, I have only been doing this for a few months, but I will give it a go on my next video and see how it goes.
The feather bender I wish I could reply with a screenshot. If you flick through some of the other main videos on RUclips. They almost all! Give you about 7 options of video quality you want to watch it in. There's a 3 vertical dot clickable symbol at top right of every video on you tube. (phone and computer etc included) most give you about 6-7 video picture quality options from super low resolution to full HD. Yours only gives 3 options up to 320p. Just thought I'd put that out there. Pretty sure if you do upload on full HD, RUclips may possibly have an ability to downgrade resolution for those unable to watch in full HD just an idea :)
Hi Barry Where can i get the deer hair compactors from {the green ones you use in the video )) and is that Dyneema your using ? And i must say thank you for the video's - they have helped me alot Chris
That's not how Joe Messenger Jr. taught me. He tied them like his dad no bobbin. His father JM Sr. kind of invented that pattern. The original version uses a select cut of deer hair. You have to harvest it yourself or go to a taxidermy shop. The original of originals actually used a 2 tone body with a beautiful wavy pattern. The hackle is a smoky purple and grizzly. Joe lives like an hour away from me. This is a neat variation though
Hi rchouser, How lucky are you that you had JM Jr teach you how to tie it!! I do tie the original with a two toned body and hackle and a beautiful pattern it is, I may even do it later this week as a video! This pattern as I mention above, is just to illustrate how versatile deer hair is (I do harvest all my own deer, moose and elk hair being a passionate hunter) Using only deer for the tail, body and hackle. Keep your eye open for the original later this week, let me know what you think!
A beautiful bottle washer.
It sure is, thanks.
Simply irresistible! 🤠
Thanks Robert.
Fantastic! That’s quite a hair fly! Truly amazing. Tight lines 🦗🐜🪰!!!!!

The deer hair in a dubbing loop technique has changed my life for trimmed DH bodies.
Excellent! Thanks, I'm so pleased that you found it useful.
Very nice fly ,I never seen deer hair so thick.😊😊😊
Thank you!
Barry, never in a million years would j have figured this out without your input. Everything I did would have been awkward and wrong. I much prefer this to the feather hackle and will undoubtedly the it. Thank you!

Thanks Chuck, you can find lots of deer hair patterns on my channel and in my book.
Great video with techniques that I have not seen before for this fly. Will try a few for my next fishing trip in NZ. Thanks
I have just discovered this technique. I make jewelry, but I’d love to learn how to make these fly fishing lures!

Excellent very good
My dry flies look like a cat that was ran over and stuck on a catalytic converter for about a week.
Ha, but they will work also G.

Hi love the video. I didn't get the name of the clips you used. What are they and where did you get them?
Hi Neville, thanks. They are called "Petitjean Magic Clips" and are available from most fly tying stores.
To save some deer hair, would saddle hackle suffice for the last step, or does that alter it too much?
Hi, yes of course you can use any regular hackle but this was just to illustrate that its possible to hackle with deer hair alone.
What thread are you using?
For most of my fly tying I use Sheer 14/0 but for deer hair I use Dyneema 55 and 120
Is this used for trout exclusively or do you use it for Atlantic Salmon as well?
Hi Parnell, its primarily a trout fly.
Hey there Barry.. What's the odds of you getting video quality up a bit higher in near future?
I think that may have something to do with your net reader Luke, I down load them to you tube as high quality as they allow!

Hi Barry Where can i get the deer hair compactors from {the green ones you use in the video )) and is that Dyneema your using ?
And i must say thank you for the video's - they have helped me alot Chris
Hi Chris, you can get them from Hareline dubbing in the US. Dyneema has always been difficult to obtain but Veniard's are now going to stock it!
Hi Chris from Hareline dubbing
Can you use elk hair for the tail?
Hi, yes of course...
