Deer hair is a tremendously versatile tying material and an essential ingredient of some of the most famous and ‘fishy’ patterns out there. Its great floatability makes it an ideal choice for dry fly wings and bodies. Streamer heads tied from deer hair push a lot of water and can be found on classical on diver-patterns and ‘muddler’ style streamers like the ‘Muddler Minnow. Wapsi Deer Hock impresses with its high quality, dense and continuous fur and offers great value.
Regardless whether you are tying caddis flies, parachute patterns, bulky streamer heads or spikey nymphs: Deer hair belongs into the standard repertoire on any tying bench.
