Premium Yearling Elk Hair – Fly Tying Essential
Elevate your fly tying with our Premium Yearling Elk Hair, prized by tiers for its perfect blend of suppleness and buoyancy. Sourced from ethically harvested yearling elk, this hair offers finer texture than adult elk, making it ideal for tying high-floating dry flies with a more delicate profile.
Whether you're crafting classic patterns like the Elk Hair Caddis or experimenting with your own designs, this material delivers:
-
Finer Diameter: Easier to stack and control, especially on smaller hooks
-
Soft yet Durable: Maintains structure without being overly stiff
-
Natural Flotation: Hollow fibers keep flies riding high on the water
-
Clean, Untanned, and Lightly Bleached: Ready for dyeing or use as-is
Perfect for tailing, wings, and bodies on dry flies, yearling elk hair offers a balance of finesse and function. A must-have for traditionalists and modern tiers alike.
