The D & F Special. ( Deer & Feather ) |
|
The H-B Special. ( Hackle & Biot ) |
This fly pattern is called the Deer & Feather Special. The original idea came from looking at images of float plane sitting on the water surface and to create a fishing fly that floats in a similar way. The deer hair & hackle fibres is the perfect combination to float this style of fly. I also try tying another fly using this similar method, But using only hackle fibres in place of deer hair and it's called the H-B Special (Hackle & Biot). The 2 fly is almost exactly the same, only the wings & body material colour is different and one with deer hair, and one without. I tested both finished fly in a tank of water without adding any fly floatant and obviously the one with the deer hair float much longer than the one without, But after adding fly floatant to the H-B Special, it perform just as well. There's also a third pattern and is called the D & B Emerger ( Deer & Biot ). Same method but tied on a scud hook, it look sort of like a caddis emerger. I really believe these new fly patterns will fool some of the trout or even other game fish into taking the fly as an easy meal. but I still haven't had the chance to try them out. I will list all the materials for these patterns below for any one who would like to try it out on their rivers or lakes and hope that it will catch them the big ones.! Thanks.
