Arctic Fox Fur is a premium natural material widely used in the fly tying community for its unique properties and effectiveness in creating lifelike and attractive fly patterns. Sourced from the Arctic fox, which is native to the cold environments of the Arctic regions, this fur is known for its exceptional warmth, softness, and durability, making it highly sought after not only in the fashion industry but also among fly tiers.
Wings and Tails: The fur is often used to craft realistic wings and tails on streamers and wet flies, providing the movement and lifelike appeal that can trigger strikes from predatory fish.
Bodies: Tiers can use the fur to build up the bodies of nymphs and dry flies, adding bulk and texture without significant weight, maintaining the fly’s ability to float or sink appropriately.
Collars and Hackles: When wrapped around the hook shank, the fur can create fluffy collars or hackles that pulse in the water, simulating the breathing or swimming action of prey.
