Is there anyone out there that is tying with buffalo hair? It is off the head of the buffalo. It is long and coarse and it is black in color. My first thought is using if for streamers. But I thought I would check with you all to see if anyone is already using it.

Thanks
Jim

Ive never messed with buffalo hair, but can it be used for leech patterns?

That is what I'm thinking Rottal. Leeches and large streamers for maybe pike flies.

i have used the underfur as dubing. there is a large buf ranch near here and when the bufs shed there winter under coat you can find it wind blown in to the fence

it worked ok but was on the coarse side
