Just curious, who ties elk hair caddis' with deer hair as opposed to elk hair?
Seems like alot of guys prefer deer hair over elk, I've always just used deer hair because I have it in stock, is there any benefit to using elk hair? I just cant see any reason to actually use elk over deer..?
Also, do any of you guys quicken the tying process and skip the hackle? I've tied a few this way for grannoms (peacock body with deear hair layed back wing - no hackle), Kind of interested in fishing it side by side with a hackled EHC and see if theres any noticable difference. I would assume the hackled EHC would outfish no hackle and float better but we shall see.
