Ron, I'm loving this fly. It lives up to the hype & can't wait to fish it. I don't believe I've seen this color deer hair in the shops. Is it readily available?
The only place I've been able to find it is Cabela's. It's their blue dun color. Works very well. In the smaller (size 20 and under) I tie them the same way, but don't bother to hackle them. They float like little corks and draw trout up from the bottom when fished in eddies and slower moving water. Tying time is a couple minutes per fly.
