<p>I'm planning on tying some stimulators and I have a ton of deer hair in the colours that I want my flies to be. </p> <p>The recipes that I have read so far ask for yearling elk hair. I wonder if I can replace that with deer hair and still get the same flotation and similar looks. Also, would there be any reason to favour elk hair over deer hair in dry flies like the stimulator or the streaking caddis? </p>
