Hareline Moose Body Hair

From Royal Wulffs to take to your favorite blue line, to tightly-segmented midge patterns for those winter afternoons, Hareline’s Moose Body Hair is a natural material like no other. The fibers on these patches are straight, hollow at the base, and strong enough to use for wrapping bodies or stiff enough to support any dry fly, providing excellent versatility at the vise. 

Uses

Moose Body Hair makes a perfect tailing material on dry flies, wet flies, and nymphs, however, it’s also a great material whenever you want to wrap a nicely segmented body.
Tip: when wrapping bodies, add a layer of head cement to aid in durability and keep things locked in. 

Comparisons 

There are a variety of hollow-style hairs on the tying market, ranging from deer and elk all the way to caribou. However, none are exactly like Moose Body Hair in that they can be used for tailing materials and have the length that you need to wrap segmented bodies. If you’re simply looking for an alternative tailing material, Deer Body Hair is a great choice, though the coloration is a bit different than what you get with Moose Body Hair. 

Example Flies

Two of the most common patterns that call for Moose Body Hair are the Royal Wulff and the Mosquito Dry Fly.
