Ryan Kral Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Hey guys. Wanted to tie up a couple of these to use on my up coming muskie trip, probably on a sink tip. It's been a while since I spun deer hair, so I figured why not. Although spinning deer hair is easy, its just time consuming, and I know why I dont do it a lot. I can tie up 2 synthetic streamers for everyone of these. This is the most basic style of the Dahlberg probably, just bunny, maribou, and deer hair. This one is about 6" long on a 4/0 hook. Not huge, but typically dont throw the massive muskie flies on the river muskie. Ryan Quote
Jonn Graham Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Very neat and clean. My heads normally do not look that good. Quote
Rob G Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Sweet tie, looks like something good to eat and should have great movement. In a little smaller variation, you've got a classic smallie fly as well. Quote
Tom L Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Ryan, your deer hair spinning skill is getting way up there. Nice work. Just a suggestion: try substituting Marabous and Zonker strips with synthetic materials like craft furs, sf flash blends, or ep fibers. I think you will find them as effective and much more enjoyable to cast, especially a big fly like that. Quote
