# **How to Choose a 42″, 5 pc. Assortment of Natural Fly Tying Hair (Moose, Deer, Mtn. Bull)**
Fly tying is an art that demands high-quality materials to create lifelike imitations of insects and baitfish. Among the most essential components in a fly tier’s arsenal is natural hair, prized for its buoyancy, texture, and durability. One of the best options available is the **42-inch, 5-piece assortment of natural fly tying hair**, featuring premium selections from **moose, deer, and mountain bull**.
If you’re looking to enhance your fly patterns, this guide will help you choose the right assortment for your needs.
## **Why Choose Natural Hair for Fly Tying?**
Natural hair offers several advantages over synthetic materials:
– **Buoyancy & Movement**: Deer, moose, and mountain bull hair have hollow fibers that trap air, making them ideal for dry flies and streamers that need to float.
– **Durability**: These hairs are strong and resistant to wear, ensuring your flies last longer.
– **Natural Appearance**: The subtle variations in color and texture mimic real insects and baitfish more convincingly than synthetics.
## **Key Features of the 42″, 5 pc. Assortment**
This assortment is designed for versatility, offering a mix of hair types in a convenient 42-inch length. Here’s what makes it special:
