Elk hair is one of the most famous materials for fly tying! Longer and stiffer than deer hair, you can also use it for bigger flies (e.g. stimulator) and it floats much better.
No doubt, the elk hair caddis are a must have for everyone who is fishing with dry flies. The wings are made out of elk hair which gives them a great shape and by using some grease, the float long drifts even in turbulent water. But further, this material is also perfect for extended bodies on mayflies and muddler heads, where you shape the head or the body of the fly with razors.
Available in different colors and each pack is very very yielding!
