[@dodgeydave21]

Very nice Davie. Well done

[@donaloflynn3922]

Lovely fly well tied Davie

[@derekcunningham9993]

Thanks for the tips. Nice with the muddler head

[@dastgaz]

Have been tying flies for fifty plus years and still struggle with deer hair. I’m starting to think you are a witch Davie. Lovely top dropper fly

[@michaeljmckinnon2960]

magnificent as always Sir

[@allanhughes945]

Excellent looking fly davie 👌

[@comesahorseman]

"You have to be brave!" Yes, indeed! 😅👍

[@ross1458]

Can't go wrong with Peacock neck. Makes any fly extra sexy.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Davie there must be a thousand different patterns for Muddlers. Most of those tied on your side of the water, seem to have short bodies while over here we tie ours much longer.
They have proven to be one of the best patterns that a person can fish. I really like this, should work well here, thank you!!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Hello Davie! Nice fly, looks a great option when fishing for sea run trout.

[@michaelogden5958]

Beautiful.

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

Nice fly. Muddlers are one of my favorite fly to tie. Hit it with the heat before cutting the deer hair. The finished product is amazing!

[@FlyTyer1948]

Love the fly. I guess my wife will be getting a new hairdryer as a present, so I can have her old one for heat treating flies & materials. First I took her nail polish, then her polish remover …

[@davidwillacy4796]

Liked the use of the hairdryer to tighten the deer hair, I’ve never seen that before! The silvered hooks you used work really well on buzzer patterns. Many thanks.

[@chrisbukowski9434]

You can use steam works well

[@crs1321]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thanks for that wee variant Davie. I love the look of the muddler version. Got some standard Brigadiers in my box and they were very successful in South Uist earlier this year. Need to get this version in the box for next year. Thanks for the tips. 👍👏🎣

[@murrayleishman7167]

Very cool fly! Bring that with and zip it around in the rivers you fish, could catch an aggressive, big brown or grayling. I really like that! Thanks!

Since I only started tying about 2 weeks ago I won't say I'm not brave enough but I think I'll practice a few more before I attempt this one but I enjoyed it none the less
