Select-grade Premium Caribou Hair. Finer, softer, and far more compressible than standard deer or elk hair, caribou is great for tying buoyant, neatly flared dry fly heads and delicate wings without adding unwanted bulk to the hook shank.
Because the hollow structure of caribou hair traps air, it offers high-riding flotation on turbulent water. Its supple texture flares quickly under light thread pressure, making it an effortless choice for small-to-medium dry fly patterns, caddis wings, and spun-body flies like the famous Comparadun and Goddard Caddis.
Each pack contains 1 (one) 2in by 3in patch of hair.
Key Features:
-
Ultra-Fine Texture: Tapered, fine-diameter fibers allow you to tie smaller, cleaner patterns down to size 18–20.
-
Maximum Buoyancy: Large internal air chambers keep your flies sitting high on the water film all day long.
-
Easy Spinning & Flaring: Softer than traditional deer hair, it flares with minimal thread tension—reducing thread shearing and shank clutter.
-
Natural Mottling: Features beautiful natural gray-brown tones that mimic the wings and bodies of caddis, mayflies, and terrestrial insects.
