Crazy Goof


Crazy Goof

Hook - Mustad 9671

Thread - Black

Tail - deer body hair

Body - Yellow chenille or wool

Over body - Deer hair

Ribbing - Heavy black tying thread, crisscrossed

Hackle - Grizzly, tied full but not dry fly style

Note - Deer hair back and tail are an integral unit. Tie in hair at forward body termination as for wing and then tie down to the bend with open spirals of heavy tying thread. Take 3-4 turns of thread at tail to secure and cause the tail hair to flare. Return thread to shoulder in crossing pattern with previous winds,
