DEVAUX Hare on Skin

A versatile natural material for realistic fly patterns

Renowned for its versatility, unique texture and irregular fibers, it allows very realistic fly patterns to be created, whether nymphs, emergers or even dry flies. Thanks to its many natural qualities, this material has remained a reliable staple for decades in the world of fly fishing.

Hare's fur has varying fineness, a subtle blend of soft underfur and stiffer fibers. This combination makes it possible to obtain a dubbing that is lively, airy and highly imitative, perfect for representing the abdomen and thorax of aquatic insects. Nymphs tied with a piece of hare's fur have a slightly shaggy and translucent appearance, faithfully imitating caddisfly, mayfly or stonefly larvae.

This material is particularly appreciated for:

• Classic nymphs (Hare's Ear),
• Emergers,
• Wet flies,
• Rustic dry flies,
• Salmon flies,
• Patterns requiring volume and lifelike movement.

A piece of hare's fur offers great freedom of texture: the long fibers allow movement to be created, while the finer underfur promotes a dense and uniform silhouette. Thanks to this natural richness, a single piece is often enough to tie a large number of varied flies.

The piece of hare's fur is also very durable. The fibers hold up well to water, retain their volume and withstand repeated handling. They blend easily with other materials such as CDC, synthetic dubbing or sparkle fibers to customize fly patterns.

In summary, the piece of hare's fur is a versatile, realistic and indispensable material, offering suppleness, movement and effectiveness for all traditional and modern flies.
