Hareline Calf Tail – Black #11

Hareline Calf Tail is a natural fly tying material prized for lifelike wings, tails and throats in both freshwater and saltwater patterns. This calf tail (also called kiptail) is cleaned and prepped by Hareline to remove oils and deliver consistent, long fibers that tie easily into streamers, Wulff wings, salmon and steelhead flies, and bonefish patterns. Hareline’s color range lets tiers match subtle naturals or create high-visibility accents.

Key Features

• Natural Calf Hair: Long, durable fibers provide realistic movement and a natural taper for wings and tails.
• Pre-Cleaned & Dyed: Processed to remove oils and dyed to the root for uniform color and easier stacking.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for streamers, dry flies, Wulff-type wings, bonefish flies and salmon/steelhead patterns.
• Compact Pack Size: Convenient pack size (~0.5 oz) for easy storage and portioning.

Fly tiers choose Hareline because the fibers are consistent, easy to stack or blend with dubbing, and compatible with standard tying thread, adhesives, head cement and epoxy. Use Calf Tail for small to large streamers that need a natural profile, for wide-wing dry fly patterns, or as throat and wing material on saltwater bonefish flies. Hareline Calf Tail is especially useful when you need fibers that hold shape after tying and take pigment evenly to the root.
