    Most commonly for streamer wings. The first pattern that comes to mind is a black nosed dace where bear hair would be the center segment of the wing (over white and under brown natural bucktail) .

    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    I've seen Col Careys tied with bear hair for the body.

    Black Bear Green Butt salmon flies (also good for steelhead).

    Really any dark steelhead pattern wing.

    Underwings on marabou-winged streamers or perhaps Woolly Buggers.
