Hareline Calf Tail - Hot Pink #188

Hareline Calf Tail is a classic fly-tying hair used for wings, tails and parachute posts on dry flies, streamers and saltwater patterns. This Hareline Dubbin material offers medium-length, fine, slightly crinkly fibers that stack easily and create lifelike profiles for Wulff-style dries, steelhead patterns and bonefish flies. The Hot Pink variant provides bright, attractor coloration ideal for visibility-focused patterns and saltwater applications.

Key Features

• Material: Natural calf hair cleaned for consistent dye uptake and finish adhesion.
• Texture & Length: Medium-length, fine, slightly crinkly fibers that are easy to stack and shape.
• Color Fastness: Dyed to the roots for deep, durable color that stands up to tying and finishing.
• Versatility: Suitable for dry flies (Wulff-style), streamers, steelhead, salmon and bonefish patterns.
• Workability: Holds shape for parachute posts and wings while accepting head cement and adhesives well.

Fly tyers choose Hareline Calf Tail because it balances stiffness and suppleness—stiff enough to form durable wing structures yet flexible enough for natural action in the water. Hareline's consistent quality makes matching colors across a fly box straightforward and helps you build reliable profiles for both freshwater and saltwater imitations. Use with standard tying threads, dubbing, bucktail or zonker strips to vary texture and silhouette.
