Nice dyed bucktail that works great in so many patterns. A must have.

Tapered synthetic fly tying fibers.

Tie flies of all types and sizes from nymphs to Clousers to T-Bones with Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail, a tapered synthetic multi-use fly tying fiber designed to imitate typical premium-length natural bucktail.

Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail fibers have the same basic diameter, gentle crinkle, and taper as natural bucktail. In appearance, it looks almost identical and has the same distinctive bucktail fly or lure action in the water. However, the fibers are not hollow (which helps your fly sink faster) and will not “flare” in the same way as regular bucktail while tying. This means you will need to tie with slightly different techniques to achieve the same effect.

Every Faux Bucktail fiber is premium 6” (152 mm) length, giving you more than twice the amount of usable fibers per tail and eliminating the headache of sorting and searching for ideal strands. Simply peel off the full length of your desired amount of fibers, trim to length, and tie them in.

The fibers can be used in a wide range of fly or lure types.

• Trout flies: Beautiful tapered wrapped “quill” bodies, nymph wing cases, Mayfly tails and legs.
• Streamers: From tying typical Clouser Minnows or Deceivers right up to large, “bite-proof” Pike, Musky or Golden Dorado flies.
• Poppers: Tie simple and durable tails on foam poppers
• Bucktail Jigs: Tougher, longer lasting fresh and saltwater bucktail jigs.
• Musky Bucktail Lures or dressed trebles.

Note: Faux Bucktail cuts easily, but like most other synthetic materials can be hard on your nice scissors. Use serrated heavy duty scissors designed for synthetics (or an old pair you don’t mind abusing).

The search is over!

These are large pieces of polar bear that have been custom dyed by Geoff. Great quality and sometimes, very hard to find. Great on the classic steelhead and salmon streamers. The natural translucency and shine you only get with Polar bear that cannot be replicated with synthetic products.

Available to Canadian customers only, not for export, sorry.

NOTE; As with all natural hand-dyed products, colors may vary from lot to lot.

The Wapsi Pine Squirrel Zonkers are soft, tanned and easy to use. The short, dense and barred hair will allow you to tie smaller versions of strip type flies. Great for slumpbusters, leeches and more.

Mink fur is super dense and silky in its texture. Mink zonkers are extremely buoyant which adds flotation to floating flies and feature a notably denser underfur than traditional rabbit or squirrel, with extra spikey guard hairs too. An excellent choice for leeches and streamers with absolutely explosive action when wet, Perfectly cut into skinny zonkers. Approximately. 2' / package.

We are very pleased to have Snow Runner from Skeena River Fly Supply, who are known as having some of the best furs available.

Snow Runner is the best hair wing material we have found for big flies. The hair originates from a fairly uncommon breed of farm animal that is domestically bred. The hair is slightly stiffer and more translucent than Icelandic Pony, or Arctic Runner, and does not mat in the water like Icelandic Sheep or Llama.  The hides are hand picked for quality. Perfect for big steelhead flies, chinook salmon flies and saltwater patterns. Snow Runner is translucent and has a slight crinkle to the hair so that the wings retains volume in the water. The under fur and shorter guard hair has a texture that is somewhat between Polar Bear and Fox and is an excellent material for smaller flies, such as classic Atlantic hair wing patterns and steelhead patterns. The under fur that is combed out makes for a very good dubbing.  One patch will suffice for many wings making it a very cost-effective material. Snow Runner is also a perfect material for making your own brushes. The length of hair varies quite a bit, from a minimum of 3″ to a maximum of 10″.  Snow Runner should be brushed and ironed before use.  You can watch a video here on Snow Runner prep here .

Among the most widely used tails in fly tying, for streamer wings, hair wings and tails and hackles. Squirrel tail hair is best suited for use on wet flies because the fine tapered hair fibers won't trap air. The hair is supple and easy to work with, being reasonably long and can be used as wings or tails on most steelhead flies.
