Silver Fox

Turrall's Fly Tying Silver Fox Fur

• Fox fur has a distinctive texture; the underfur is soft and dense, providing bulk and a subtle movement, while the guard hairs are longer, stiffer, and can add a pronounced action to the fly in the water. This combination makes it exceptionally versatile for both saltwater and freshwater fly patterns.

• 8-12 cm in length the Silver Fox is the longest fox tail hair available.

Black tipped, superfine, dense and very mobile.

• Although it's called "Silver Fox," the color of the fur can range from a deep, silvery-grey to black, with some having white tips. This natural color variation allows for the creation of visually appealing and realistic flies.

• Fly tiers use Silver Fox fur for a variety of applications, including streamers, salmon flies, steelhead flies, and any patterns where movement and a natural appearance are desired. The fur can be used to tie wings, tails, collars, and bodies, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of fly types.

Silver Fox is a highly valued material in fly tying, known for its unique combination of soft underfur and longer guard hairs. Originating from the Silver Fox, which is a color morph of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), these pelts offer a range of fur characteristics that are ideal for creating various fly patterns, especially those requiring a natural, flowing appearance in the water.
