Moose Maine is an under utilised material in my opinion it is robust and you can have a lot of fun with different styles of bodies. This fly is ideal when a hatch of LDOs id in full swing, also great fun to tie. Try it #12 - #18.

It is a great material, very versatile.

Nice pattern. Thank you. Moose mane (note spelling) also makes a great segmented body for a mosquito dry fly. We often see moose near our woods cabin in northern Maine. They are quite tall & not afraid of much unless it’s hunting season or there is a bear nearby. However, it’s very hard to convince them to stand still while you get stool to stand on, so you can cut off some of their mane. ;-)

Thanks Jimmy, this is a great fly for those flat runs on the river. Fish often just sip it down.

Fly tying with Sean Connery! Excellent pattern. One white CDC with two gray/natural ones would really help with visibility for the angler.

@Gary Camden thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

Yes, moose mane is impressive stuff - especially when admiring it from a tree when it is still attached to an angry moose. ...Don't ask me how I know this, just be advised not to imitate their calls while on a late fall trout fishing trip when they are in "rut" - evidently what they are "saying" is rude and they are likely to take offense. Oh, and the long, strong hairs do make wonderful flies! Thanks for sharing!

Nice pattern there Lindsay. Looks a bit tough for me but I’ll try it although I don’t have the moose hair so I’ll swap for deer and see if it works. Thank you for another one dude.

Deer hair won't work pal, try just using some stripped peacock heel. That will do much better.

Good fly, I really thought the body was quill when I saw the thumbnail lol. Is the moose hair more durable than a quill. I'm fed up with them pesky trout chewing on my flies and destroying my quill bodies. They've no respect at all lol.

Yes the Moose Mane is a much tougher material James and easier to work with.

Great pattern Lindsay. Where do you get the Moose Mane from? Great to meet you at the BFFI. 👍
