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!

    I'm thinking the smallmouth guys over at FlyRecipes.com might love to see this one posted!

    Best,
    Joe
