Hans if you are still out there. I'm sorry we lost touch. I still tie to your standards in many patterns. I've been sick for years, but fly tying keeps me sane. You are a great man Hans, wish you were still here.

thanks Hans, I guessed it wasn't commercially available as I have scoured the internet for something similar.

Sean,
Hair from along the spine of a mule deer.
Best of success with fishing the pattern - I am sure you will be well pleased.
Cheers,
Hans W

Fantastic fly, I will be tying it in a slightly more brown badger, with slightly darker dyed olive deer hair. It looked like regular deer, not belly hair the way it splayed when you tied it. I am in hopes it will catch me a fish or two when the season opens here in Maine, U.S.A.
Thanks, Sean

Very nice Hans!

Enjoyed the lesson thank you sir

Very nice technique, very little binding thread - I'll copy that!
The others that tie the fly uses four times more binding thread.

Thanks Peter,
I follow a simple concept in my tying. Each turn of thread needs to have a function. If I cannot justify it, it most likely should not have been there in the first place.
Second concept - move treads eye to bend once, bend to eye once.
Cheers,
Hans

This pattern adapts Wally Lutz's No-Brainer aka Tom Bomb and adds dubbing and the hackling method from the Elk Hair Caddis. Hans should know this.

Han's can I ask where your hair stacker is from?

[@HansWeilenmann]

+Jason Pereira Of course you can ask ;-)
My wood stacker was made by a friend - not commercially available if that was the underlying question.
It has just the right, for my range of trout and grayling patterns, inside diameter, and just enough overhang for gripping the tips easily, yet not so much that short hair tips out. Because it is wood, not metal, there is never any static issue either. I love it ;-)
Cheers,
Hans W
