How to tie The Yellow Owl, Deer Shucker Dry Fly by Steve Cullen

How to tie The Yellow Owl, Deer Shucker Dry Fly by Steve Cullen https://ift.tt/dVPTHi3

Today we are checking out Steve Cullen's Yellow Owl, Deer-Shucker Dry Fly. This pattern is a take on a fly found on Caledonia Fly called the Deer-Shucker. However, Steve's variant has this tied onto a completely different style of hook with two thread deniers. He uses the 8/0 in Cahill, as his tying thread and the heavier thread is used as ribbing, which would normally be fine wire on a standard Deer-Shucker.

All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, but as always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we'll be happy to help. 

Materials Used:

Hook: B100G Trout, Shrimp and Buzzer Gold, Size 14

Thread: Uni Thread 6/0 and 8/0 Waxed, Cahill

Ribbing: UTC Thread, Black
Tail: Primo Roe Deer Hair Natural

Dubbing: Veniard Stickle Dub, Nat Grey
