Overview
A patch of natural elk hair for fly tying, sold in a large size weighing about a quarter ounce, from fly tying supplier Hareline. Used to tie hair wing patterns such as elk hair caddis.
Elk hair is prized in fly tying for its hollow, buoyant fibers, which is why it turns up in caddis wings, comparaduns and other floating patterns aimed at freshwater species. This listing is a single natural colored patch rather than a dyed shade, so tiers who want a specific dyed color should look elsewhere in the line.
- Hareline branded fly tying material
- 0.25 ounce large patch
- Natural color, one piece
- Freshwater target species
Who it's for
Fly tiers working on caddis, stimulator or comparadun patterns for freshwater species like trout. Not useful to anglers who do not tie their own flies.
Pros and cons
- Natural undyed elk hair for hair wing patterns
- Sized as a large patch for multiple flies
- From an established fly tying materials brand
- No color options beyond natural
- No description of hide size beyond weight
Performance notes
The hollow fiber structure in elk hair is what gives tied flies their float, so how well a pattern fishes depends on how the tier stacks and trims the hair rather than on the patch itself.
