deer hair mouse

Hi
Can anyone give me pointers for tying deer hair mice?
Spinning and stacking are OK but I seem to remember when watching Chris Helm
that he stacks on top of a previous layer, presumably to get the density and
size. Is my memory correct?

Most unlikely. It is more or less impossible to spin deer hair on anything
other than a bare shank, or a thread base.

Layered flaring is often used to achieve colour blocks but would it
increase density ??? Quite Likely ...

Steve (who's only does it for colour since the first (and last) mouse was
sceamed at.)

Yes.
It's stacking. If you look at Chris' mice, you'll see markings caused by the
darker tips of the hair against the lighter bases. And towards the tail, where
he stacks the hair to build height with dense packing, the pattern of dark and
light shows how stacking differs from spinning.

Use Gudebroad GX2 or Kevlar for the thread, May I suggest ultra-suede for
the tail and ears instead of leather.
and on your hook take a small course hone and run down the shank to roughen
it. Do not wrap the hook shank with thread base. Stack on the rear top and
bottom them spin from that point on you want to add a specific color.
Use course side and belly hair not the fine stuff.
Hope this helps
