SWISSCDC Capriolo Autunno Italian Style
Premium Autumn Roe Deer Hair from the Italian Alps for Dry Flies and Traditional Italian Patterns
SWISSCDC Capriolo Autunno Italian Style is a premium-quality natural Roe Deer hair carefully selected from mature wild animals harvested in the Italian Alps. Autumn hair offers an excellent balance of density, straight fibres and natural buoyancy, making it one of the finest materials available for Deer Hair Caddis, Goddard Sedge, Muddler heads, Mayfly wings and countless traditional Alpine dry flies. The hair is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected without bleaching or dyeing, preserving its natural colours and structure.
Unlike many standard deer hair patches, SwissCDC selects only clean, straight fibres instead of the commonly found hairs that curve near the tips. This allows fly tyers to produce exceptionally neat wings, perfectly aligned split wings and precise spun hair heads with minimal waste.
What is SWISSCDC Capriolo Autunno?
Capriolo Autunno is carefully selected autumn Roe Deer hair (Capreolus capreolus). During autumn, the hair develops an ideal combination of hollow structure, density and elasticity, making it especially suitable for floating dry flies and precision deer hair tying.
Each patch is washed, disinfected and packed in its completely natural state without dyes or artificial colouring. The result is a premium tying material with consistent fibre quality across the entire patch.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONCompared with standard Deer Hair, Capriolo Autunno offers noticeably straighter, cleaner and more uniform fibres, making it easier to tie precise dry flies with professional results. Compared with Elk Hair, Roe Deer hair is softer and flares more readily, making it an excellent choice for spun hair techniques, while Elk Hair remains the better option for long Caddis wings. If you are looking for premium-quality deer hair for traditional Italian and Alpine dry flies, SWISSCDC Capriolo Autunno is among the finest materials available. |
Classic Applications of SWISSCDC Capriolo Autunno
