Here are a few of Fran Better's haystack pattern. These are tied with a woodchuck tail and an adams gray body.

Real nice Terry, the flare on those wings is sweet :geek:
Best,

Great job on those Haystacks.

Very, very nice ones! I also dig that flair in the wings, great stuff!

Very nice, what's your method of ensuring the wing stays straight up without sloping forward? I've seen a method on youtube where after tying in the wing you pull it back in bunches and wind thread in fornt of each bunch.
First I tie in the hair for the wing, then I wrap the thread down to were I am going to tie in the tail. After tying in the tail I dub the body to the back of the wing. After that I push the hair up to the height I want it to be and wrap the thread with dubbing on it tightly against the front of the hair. I build it up to the correct height and finish the fly.Originally Posted by rossa
Hope this helps.
Nice fly. I also do the same thing. I them in bwo, pmd, even caddis only using darlon or zelon for a trailing shuck works great.
Yeah they are a good fly with many color possibilities. I first started to tie and fish them because of how cheap hair is compared to hackle.Originally Posted by trout-nut
The flies are nicely proportioned and the flair of the hair very neatly done. They are great ties Terry.

Thanks, that's the way I've done it. But I can't stop the wing from sloping forward, more practice required I'd say.Originally Posted by terry
