The Wilderdilch

Recipe

Hook: Mustad 3366 Size 2

Tail Layer 1: Deerhair

Tail Layer 2: Barred Sili-legs (Orange)

Tail Layer 3: Saddle Hackle

Flash: Krystal Flash

Thorax: Deerhair

Head: Spun Deerhair

This is a great pattern for me because it satisfies my deer hair spinning bug. It happens all the time, I get this urge to spin deer hair. The minute it starts getting complicated I lose interest. The head on the Wilderdilch is pretty crude. No razor blades, just a pair of scissors. Keep it simple!

The head holds some water and gets the fly down in the water column. This is a dandy! Ron from my local fly shop wants to see it in gray...I'm on the hunt for gray deer hair!
