Quick take
Natural elk hair designed for the classic Elk Hair Caddis and extended-body dry fly patterns.
A patch of natural-colored elk hair for the fly-tying bench, in a large size. Its hollow fibers float high, so it suits elk hair caddis and other bigger dries such as hoppers, stoneflies and extended-body patterns. It also works as tail material on dry flies.
