Not only are you an amazing fly tier but an exceptional teacher as well Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques,having one of your flies in hand would make practicing this pattern much easier so I hope to win one.

Thank you very much for helping us learn how to use deer hair. I’m ok at it, but want to do better, and as with anything, when you watch and listen to a Master of any craft, your own work will become better. You are the Best master artist of deer hair I’ve seen, and my flies are, and will become better. I really appreciate it. Thanks again Andreas. Best wishes to you, 👍👍👌🎣

Excellent teaching, mate! Spot-on!!!

[@douglynch9012]

I would have liked to have been able to watch you 30 years ago when I first taught myself to spin and stack deer hair. I enjoy watching you tie and it's seems like I always learn something from you. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.

Brilliant tutorial I really learned a lot of little things that I didn’t know before watching I’d like to tie some streaking caddis sizes 8 to 14 what size thread would you recommend for this application great video very well explained cheers

This is SOOOOO well done!! I am still trying to work up the believe that I can do deer hair bugs. But.... do you "seal/close" the deer-hair heads with anything ( uv/epoxy/silicone etc)????

[@dutchflyfisher]

I love the baits that you are tying. Normaly II use floating lines. Can you fish deer hair baits with an intermediate line? Where is the baitfish,...on top,..or,...just below the surface? greetings and tight lines.

What base plate are you using for your Regal vice? Was the standard Regal vice holder not stable enough? (something that would not surprise me).

❤️❤️❤️

[@redbear801]

Andreas, where do you get your Deer Hair Belly Premo Strips from? I could not find any in Europe...

[@keith8013]

What kind of thread do use for dear

[@bs5am]

I tried casting these flys the other day, had a #7 wt and a tapered thick 5ft leader and the flys just bounced around everywhere and it felt impossible to cast. Do you just live with that or am I missing something gearwise that helps?

[@christophermonrad2704]

Shouldn't be too much of a problem casting this size on a 7wt, even on a longer leader than that. It can however be more demanding if you're using a fly line with a long belly, giving you the feeling that you're incapable of closing the loop while casting. I'm normally using fly lines with a 26-40 feet belly (included front and back taper), which is casting flies like this without too much hazzle.

[@smarais8784]

The wet rabbit tail makes it heavier. To cast a weighted fly, you can use a Belgian cast. That keeps tension on the rod and line all the time. You will find many examples on google. Orvis has a few great videos for that.

Anyone know what kind of scissors he is using for the deer hair?
