There's only one word to describe Steve's deer hair demo today...WOW!! I might try my hand on tying only one of them for now. What the heck, I'm not doing much else the rest of this year.
The stacking & spinning were something else. All very intense & involved techniques. A lot of attention to detail. I swear that some of his deer hair was packed denser than a balsa wood lure!!
the best part was Steve's style of teaching & explaining. All the kids who have him for a teacher are very fortunate. he's clear, descriptive, patient, & knows his audience well enough that he can teach them just about anything. Congrats to Steve, OOFS for getting him, & for another great afternoon.

Thanks again Steve, a true master of deer hair. Can't wait to use the packer.

Nick..fabulous ties & a good time this afternoon, as usual. Thanks much!! After the demo, it looked like there was a lot of interest in those tubes. The secret is finally out!!
A lot of good questions & good conversations. I'm still laughing inside about how quiet it got when you were trimming the thread at the end of the demo (the remark about the coffee you drank). I think everyone was holding their breath waiting for the 'clunk' of the bobbin.
BTW..many thanks to your wife for the cookies. If your tying didn't keep the crowds in, the cookies would've !.
Altogether, another great series of demos & many, many thanks for organizing them. And just so you don't get all the thanks, many many more thanks to those who did the demos. Nothing but first class tyers! Thanks again to every single one of you guys..jj

Nick...just thought of a question...can deer hair be packed onto a tube fly..in case you wanted to make a floater, popper, or gurgler? You know, pack hair on a copper tube?...like blending your tubes with Steve's demo? I'm just sitting here hunting for Grey Goose (martini's) & thought that might be a wild trick to try.

thank you, it was my pleasure.
JJ yes deer hair can be spun on tubes and you may not have noticed but some of Steve's bugs were tied on tubes. both floating bugs and heavy sculpins come out great on tubes.

Now that you've reminded me. yes, I remember the spun hair on a tube. Steve had a fly that looked like a Zara Spook (long, cigar shaped) that he mentioned was tied on a tube. Now it's time to fish!..jj

Great session Nick!! You got me thinking at one point about making a leech pattern swim in an undulating style. There's got to be a way...
