Chris Helm


Chris Helm tying at the International Fly Tyers Symposium in
New Jersey in 1996.

Chris Helm is one of the world's premier capacities on tying with hair - especially deer hair. Chris has tied on numerous shows and classes all over the world and has taught people to tie deer hair flies both live, in books, and on videos.

I have always been fascinated by deer hair flies, especially muddlers, and my own big break through with these flies and deer hair came after tying with Chris Helm at an arrangment in Denmark. The material presented in his first article on this web site comes from that specific arrangement.

People who looked at the above also looked at:

Wiggle Jig Worm

Maybe you found the previously published tandem rag worm too tandemnised and would be better off with a one-hook-only fly.Then The Wiggling Jigging Worm shown in this article is a good alternative.

ZipCast

When the bottle came in the mail, I got out an old hankie and wet a small bit and ran the line through the hankie a few times. Out to the yard to see how it cast. Hmm ... it was noticeably slicker and flowed through the guides with ease. Nice.

Polar Perch

Perch and Shad are tasty baitfish that warmwater game fish love to snack upon. Modifying the classic Deceiver-style pattern yields a tasty fly that is easy to cast and won't tangle upon itself. Find out from GFF partner Steve Schweitzer the key steps required to tie
