Is there a secret to getting deer hair to stay where you place it on the hook? Or just a matter of practice to getting it held and not spun...

I like that balloon caddis Clan Chief!

Ardbeg, thanks for all the help, will have a go at some of them too!

Probably down to practice. For the last year or so now I have been watching Davie mcPhail 's you tube vids . I have learned so much from these demos. He said in one of his demos that when tying deer hair in give it two loose wraps then wind more firmly  from the front - back to the point where you made the two loose wraps. I know that wont make much sense.  better totake a look at his site it's a wonderful resource............
