The Grey Wulff is tied using a combination of materials such as fine dubbing, calf tail, and saddle hackle. The fly's body is made from dubbed fur, often in a grey or tan color, while the tail and divided wings are created from calf tail fibers. The saddle hackle is wound around the body to give the fly its distinctive, bushy appearance.
The Grey Wulff is designed to imitate adult mayflies, particularly those in the drake and dun stages. The bushy hackle and divided wings help the fly sit high on the water, making it an effective pattern for rough or fast-flowing water where natural insects struggle to stay afloat. The fly's overall profile and coloration closely resemble various mayfly species.
This fly can be used in a variety of freshwater environments, but it's mostly used on streams and rivers. It is particularly effective in fast-flowing or broken water, as the bushy hackle helps it to stay afloat and remain visible to both the angler and the fish.

You always buy from one fly tyer at a time
When you add a fly or set to your cart, you buy from the fly tyer who tied it. Add as many flies as you like from this fly tyer.
You can not add flies from multiple tyers, because else you would have to pay shipping cost for each one, making your shipping cost very high.
Estimated delivery time is shown in the shopping cart
Some sets and flies can be in stock, others might be tied to order. The item that takes the longest will determine the total time your order will take.
The estimated time your order will take is always shown in the shopping cart before you check out.
