Materials:

Hook: Tiemco 100 (Size 14)

Tail: Hareline Premo Deer Hair Strips (Natural)

Body: Hareline Superfine Dry Fly Dubbing (Dark Tan)

Hackle: Whiting 100 Pack Saddle Hackle (Size 14, Grizzly)

Step 1

Attach your thread just behind the hook eye and wrap it evenly back to the bend of the hook shank, building a smooth, uniform thread base for your materials.

Step 2

Attach your thread just behind the hook eye and wrap it evenly back to the bend of the hook shank, building a smooth, uniform thread base for your materials.

Step 3

Select a single dry fly hackle feather and tie it in securely just behind the deer hair head.

Step 4

Create a thin, even dubbing noodle using dry fly dubbing and wrap it forward toward the hook eye, completely covering all visible thread wraps beneath.

Step 5

Palmer the hackle rearward in evenly spaced wraps, leaving a small gap between each wrap and taking care not to trap any fibers. Tie off the hackle at the back of the hook shank with several tight thread wraps and trim the excess.

Step 6

Hold the deer hair back with your thumb and forefinger to keep it out of the way. Complete 2–3 whip finishes and apply a small drop of superglue to the thread wraps for durability. Allow it to fully cure.

Step 7

Using scissors, trim away all hackle fibers from the underside of the hook shank. This helps the fly land hook-point down and improves your hook-up ratio.

Your Dyret is ready to fish! This fly is great for many species in still or moving water.
