Nature’s Spirit Bull Elk Hair is a premium natural tying material, prized by fly tyers for its stiffness, durability, and excellent buoyancy. Carefully selected and expertly prepared, this hair is ideal for tying classic and modern dry flies, terrestrials, and high-floating attractor patterns where structure and flotation are essential.
Sourced from mature bull elk, the fibres are naturally hollow yet coarser than standard deer hair, providing superior support for wings, posts, and bodies that must resist collapse during casting and fishing.
