Because there is no other hackle.

You could just go simple and go for a hare's ear f-fly

Here's a couple, all effective flies

1. Hares ear Loop wing- hares mask for body, wire for ribbing, cdc for wing.

2. Shipmans buzzer- hares mask for body,polyprop for tail & breathers, wire for rib.

3. Shuttlecock hares ear buzzer-hares mask for body, cdc for thorax cover,wing & breather brought over thorax and tied in at the head(deadly buzzer).

4. Grey duster-badger hackle fibres for tail, hares mask for body(greyish under-fur), badger cape for hackle.


All good flies to incorparate a few different techniques for practise.

A ball of fluff for the cat to play with given that you don't have a hook

If you want to use all of those materials I would go for a copper ribbed CDC Fly (hares ear body), knotted legs from the badger cape, White polypro wing buds, and a Light Tan coloured yarn.
