Not knowing how he did it I would guess and say the hackle was a series
of small loops of deer hair. Producing one large loop of deer while on
the hook is tough and next to impossible. A series of three or four
small bunches would be much easier to do.

Subject: [VFB] Deer Hair in Dubbing Loop Any pointers?
How do you go about putting deer hair in a dubbing loop? I would like
to
tie deer hair hackles for stone flies such as the RDH Stone on Hans W.'s
site
http://www.danica.com/FLYTIER/sostermann/rdh_stone.htm.
How do you hold the hair in place while forming the loop? How much do
you
spread out the deer hair. Do you place all the hair on one side before
spinning? Any tips and pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you
