Using Quality Deer Hair for Comparaduns

Two-Tone Sparkle Dun Comparadun:









Perhaps not a perfectly tied fly, but I wanted to show how the use of good quality comparadun deer hair makes for a good tie. The deer hair used on this fly is specially selected, dyed, comparadun deer hair from Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, Mt. I got it there this summer on my fishing trip.

I used it to tie this Blue Wing Olive imitation.

The comparadun style of tying dry flies is easier and cheaper than the standard dry fly pattern with wings and hackling.
