Ryan Kral Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hey guys. Just tied up a couple of Kelly Galloups "Zoo Cougars". I have had bad luck the last few times I ordered material, especially with my deerhair. My last few patches have been very short, and the hairs all had a strong bend in them right in the middle of the hair. Anyways, these are basic enough flies, just unhappy with the hair I had to spin with. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ryan, they look great. If you find yourself tying a lot of these or just spinning a lot of deer hair, then I would recommend primo deer strips like these, makes the job easier and your heads more fashionable for the discriminating brown or smallmouth. Kelly Galloup in his video where he ties this fly spends a lot time speaking about what he looks for in his premo deer strips. Some good info.

Mike G Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Nice pattern. I see a Loo Cougar in there subbing CF for the marabou and calf tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be ordering some soon. I've seen them in the past, just didnt bother. I seem to find myself using deer hair more often now, so may as well spend the few extra bucks.

Rob G Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Oh and Ryan, I see absolutely no reason to tie up a bunch of Zoo Cougars since they are more or less worthless for smallies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah, I wont bother Rob, I think I would just be disapointed in their performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
