When talking
about Deer hair, its the body hair of a Mule Deer that we
are refering to. Mule Deer is a very versatile hair used
for many flies. The hair is hollow from the
follicle to just before the tip where the color
changes. This makes it particularly nice for
clipped body flies because it can be spun very
tightly. Another advantage of Deer hair
is the large variety of colors that are
available. Matching the Hatch is always
easier when there is a nice variety of
colors to choose from. This coarse hair is 1½"
- 2½"
in length. |
