Daddy comparison

[noeyedeer]

Posted these pics of a daddy in my office recently: When Daddy came to my office....

...and then saw a post on how to do a deerhair detatched body (can't remember from whom). So I had a play around last night and here's the first result . Real daddy pic alongside for comparison.



and one a bit more "Scratch Stylee":





Not sure whether to trim under the hackle for a lower ride or leave as is.
(..and I know mine has extra legs but 2 are for the trouts teeth)

Looks great, just need a decent daddy hatch Garden is full of them at the moment so if thats anything to go by your onto a winner.

Whats that behind the hackle on the closeup? Looks like the end of the deer hair tied up?

Great tying, sure to catch with that, well copied

Thanks for the comments guys.

Mot; Yes, it's just the way the deerhair bunched when I tied it down hard to the hook shank
