I'm going to be tying a bunch of these soon to target bass and snakeheads in the spring:

If you are spinning the deer hair, always use body hair. The tail hair is too thin, and you really want the stiff and hollow qualities of the body hair to float the fly and move more water.

--Those baby birds have to fall out of the nests and I'm sure big trout ear them. I don't tie with deer hair, there probably are not enough air pockets in buck tail to make it float like body hair. I'll look or the foam depot link.Another good book source fornpatterns is Harrison Steve's terrestrials. He has lightening bugs in there.
Sent from my iPodHey Rob,I don't know anything about the Jassid bug but I will check it out. I do have 1 mouse fly that I bought and will try tying a deer hair mouse soon. Can I tie one using buck tail instead of the deer hide? I imagine the bucktail would be longer and more flexable but I would be curious to try. The stink bug is a good idea. I have been seeing them everywhere this year (mainly in my house).I will check out the moth and salmon maggot flies online . Tried finding your youtube video on the foam bug fly but I was unable to find it. Can you let me know where to find it.Still confused about the baby swallow comment. Are you saying that you wanted to make a baby swallow fly?--
