deer hair
Cervid body covering
Deer hair refers to the hollow, buoyant fur from deer, prized in fly tying for its ability to float and flare when tied to a hook.
The air-filled shafts make it ideal for dry flies and bass bugs: a deer hair popper, spinning deer hair for a Muddler Minnow.
The material comes from various parts of the hide, with different textures suited to different patterns.
