Panic. Real panic. First proper fishing trip after month. It will still be cold, but what the heck. We´ll get out and fish our favorite lake the coming weekend. Excitement all around — where´s my stuff? Flies, that coffee cattle, and - yes coffee. Need to take that Whisky … sleeping bags, coffee … socks, waders, bellyboats, insect repelleant, headlamp, socks. Wool socks … really important. Tippet material. Rod, lines and reels … the net - why is the net in the kitchen?? Never mind … sunglasses. Have I packed the socks? yeah - checked twice. Oh don´t forget to send out the fly order which came in yesterday … the guy needs it to fish with his son … and yes - what else. Flies. Where is my flybox? Uhhhh - found it. Fxxxx meeeee. This thing is almost empty. Geeez … what now? It´s 23:03 already. Have a beer dude. Chill. hahahahaha … the beermat says - "Keep calm and tie flies" - yeah right. OK - let´s go. Where´s the stuff? Hooks … which hooks. Gosh, fab - the new Barbless Klinks came. Thank you Partridge, god of bent metal needles known as flyhooks. Perfect … another good zip form that beer.
Beer on a thursday … nice … thursday? Aaaaargh … whatttttt? Friday - Paul´s waiting for the FP. OK, get the camera and another beer ....
Chill man ….
That - "I have to write an FP" feeling ....
panic, deer hair and seal productions
proudly presents
last minute tying
Here we go - Seals fur and deer hair always does the trick:
I got some seals fur from Danmark. Brilliant stuff. Amazing quality and colors.
Deer hair from a taxidermist or hunter.
It´s often a bit tougher than the stuff one finds in shops.
on with the tying thread
wax the thread
and spin on the seals fur in the same direction you tie - clockwise for a right hand tier tying "away" from the body
rib and secure the dubbing with the thread
stack a clump of deer hair in a hair stacker
tie on the wing
done and Bob´s your uncle 
One can actually be quick and last minute. I tend to take my flytying kit along for weekend and longer trips. I seem to always have run out of flies right before. I give them away or am busy tying orders. But I really like these last minute panic flies. They seem to catch best. Must be that fish like fresh flies best. ;-)
