I follow a lot of blogs and read my own planet.dryfly.me<\/a> daily to get inspiration and ideas on new patterns to try out, the other day smallflyfunk<\/a> had a #20 deer hair caddis<\/a> that I reallly liked the look of. I got two new strips of deer hair not long ago: the Wapsi Premo Deer Hair, which I really enjoy working with on slightly larger patterns, but on smaller patterns I have never used much deer hair since the previous strips I’ve tried just wasn’t good enough for tying in on such a small \u00a0hook. So: this #20 pattern was a just the test I needed to see how it holds up.<\/p>\n

The quality of the hair is great, the #20 caddis was a breeze to do, the limiting factor is actually getting the wing small enough when you hold it to tie it in! If you are tying caddis or other patterns that require deer hair: go into a shop and really get a feel for how it is, and spend that extra money on a good strip of hair, it will help you a lot in the future ( or you will end up, like me, with lots of bad pieces of hair in a box ).
