There's some moose loose aboot this hoose

[wingman]

.....quite alot of it actually. Just found a packet of moose mane I havn't yet used so decided to try a few experiments with it, alot thicker than deerhair this stuff so requires abit more effort to tie down. Sorry about the lack of variety in hooks but waiting for a new shipment. All tied on size 14's.


Dryfly useing moose for tail, wing and body.



Nymph useing moose for tail, body, thorax cover and leggy bits.

The moosesss body looks very nice, nice job on that Mr Mark

[wingman]

Thanks ST Bigphil and darwin

Just a bit of experimenting darwin, the body would probably benefit from a coat of varnish to give it some strength, think I'll definitely give the dryfly a whizz when the rivers cleared up, which will take a few days with all this rain.

Is it a buoyant fibre like deerhair?

Cheers the beginner

Shpeil I know moose is very good for making tails for dryflies so I assume it has good floatation although I havn't tried fishing any myself yet, but we will see.
