The hair of the calf tail is used for many traditional flies. Even when tying many parachute patterns, it is essential. Salmon fly-tyers appreciate it as do saltwater fly-fishermen who use it particularly in the production of Bonefish flies. Its fine texturing makes it very easy to process.
Compared to the bucktail, the calf tail is more stiff and wavy, but give your patterns a realistic look and provide them a nice play in the water.
Suited for dry flies, steelhead, salmon, bonefish and saltwater flies, the calf tail is a real "must have" for every fly tyer.
