Step by step tying instructions:
Prepare the lining on the hook
Tie down the deer hair and keep about 10mm fiber tips 1/4 from hook eye
Apply same technique like DHA Sedge, roll the deer hair to the hook to create the abdomen. tie down and trim the extra
Tie in a Turkey biot and roll the biot to continue the abdomen
Tie in the CDC

A Very important tips for tying the DHA series of flies… always apply some flexement to the deer hair abdomen to sealed the air in the ‘Bamboo’ structure of the hair… this will make the deer hair float better and also more water resistant…
