ELK BODY HAIR

Details

Tying flies with elk body hair can result in durable and buoyant patterns that are effective for imitating a variety of terrestrial and aquatic insects. Elk body hair is often used for winging material in dry flies, such as caddis patterns and stimulators, due to its natural buoyancy and ability to create a realistic silhouette on the water’s surface.

Elk hair can also be used for a variety of other fly patterns, including emergers, stoneflies, and terrestrial imitations. Experiment with different hook sizes, colors, and additional materials to create patterns that match the insects in your local waters.
