When tying a dry fly, high-floating patterns, this material makes an excellent choice for bodies, heads, antennae, tails, wings, hackles, as well as for imitating legs. It works great for tying streamer, muddler, and sculpin heads. This dubbing can also be a great choice for tying nymph and emerger thoraxes, heads, legs, and gills. When tying caddis dry flies or cased caddis patterns, this material is absolutely irreplaceable. One of the characteristics of deer hair and this dubbing material is flaring when it gets tied down. The amount of flaring depends on its texture and the thread pressure applied.

When you want to achieve a muddler head look, use stronger thread pressure to get more flaring.
