Hey Davie, lovely fly once again and great technique. I tied it royal wulff style with red antron in the middle. I had a problem with my elk hair tail flaring so had trouble tying the body in level. I assume I need to use a non-flaring fibre for the tail?

Hi dunamisjc,

I would try and find some moose body hair or what I use a lot is natural or dyed squirrel tail a very good hair which I've used on a few patterns....

All the best Davie

What different fibers can I use for the tail

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi ZombiePig100,

Use what you have as long as it strong enought to hold the fly up....ATB Davie

Hi Davy,

Great fly as always, I've used a similar Wulff for Atlantics too, aparantly there is a California Coachman that has an orange centre as well. Lee Wulff used deer tail for his tails, but the top part of the tail where the hair is finer. Actually I have not seen many other patterns that use this part of the tail. Just a thought.

All the best, Peter.

Hi Davie

Very nice tie. You make tying in that wing look so easy. I still have some trouble tying it in. It still amazes me how easy you make it look even after watching you for years.

All the best

Thank you for making a video of this! I've been waiting for a Wulff-esque video! I learn a ton from the small tips such as wrapping the herl etc. Keep up the great work!
