When I first started tying deer hair flies, my daughter was probably about 5 years old. She called them "bippity, boppity, poof" flies. I guess that's a line in Cinderella, and when I made the first two loose wraps she would say "bippity,boppity" and then when I tightened the line and spun the deer hair she'd throw up her arms and shout "Poof!".

I have to think about that and smile everytime I see someone tie a spun deer hair fly.

Nice first one Wayne. You should join us (a bunch of fly tying guys with a beer problem) at the Fly Fisherman in Titusville this Saturday night. We all get together once a month and tie some, shoot some and socialize from about 5:30 til 7:30 or so.

There are some good guys(and gals there) along with a few captains that don't mind giving tips and suggestions. Plus, it doesn't cost you anything!

Hope to see you there.
