Hair (Fly Tying)

Hair adds bulk, buoyancy, and movement to flies. Deer hair floats a Comparadun. Elk hair caddis wings stay up in fast water. Calf tail underwings a Royal Wulff. Moose mane builds the classic body on Catskill mayfly patterns. Bucktail wings classic streamers — from Mickey Finn to Black Ghost — and bigger trout and warmwater articulated streamers alike.

Our hair selection covers the full range used in trout fly tying: deer hair in body, fine, comparadun, and spinning grades; elk in mane, body, and bleached patches; calf tail and calf body; moose body and moose mane; bucktail in natural and dyed colors; snowshoe rabbit's feet; arctic fox; squirrel tail; bear; and more. If a pattern recipe specifies a hair, the right patch is here.
