Caribou

Caribou Hair is a unique natural material valued by fly tyers for its short, hollow fibers that spin and flare beautifully—perfect for crafting buoyant dry flies and realistic body shapes. Softer and shorter than deer or elk hair, caribou is especially well-suited for smaller caddis patterns, comparaduns, muddlers, and terrestrial flies where controlled flare and natural texture are essential.

Its hollow structure makes it naturally buoyant, while the fine texture allows for tighter stacking and smoother heads or bodies.

Features:

• Hollow, buoyant fibers for floating patterns

• Softer and shorter than deer or elk – ideal for small flies

• Excellent for wings, bodies, and spun heads

• Easy to stack, spin, and trim
