Dear Deer Hair Rebel
Breaking all the rules might work if all we did was to tie mice (and yours
are very good I might add) however, speaking for myself, I want to tie flies
that catch fish not fishermen. I tend to agree with Henk and Chris Helm
regarding the "advice" or “rules” for spinning deer hair but at the same
time nothing including "rules" is cast in stone
I think the rules are there to get you started in the right direction. As
with most things, once you know how the material has to behave / end up, you
can start bending the rules. Ever watch great casters casting (rather than
teaching)? They almost never do what the basic casting courses (or the more
advanced courses for that matter) tell you to do. The one exception was a
clinic by Jason Borger in West Yellowstone I once crashed; he really showed
some of those rule-breaking advanced tricks that great casters use when they
actually fish...
