Bucktail

[sport]

I need some help finding quality bucktail. By quality I mean straight and fine. I have done my homework and searched this site, I also Googled the heck out of the internet.I have recently purchased bucktail from several well known sources, and some of it looks almost synthetic it is so thick and kinked. I like to tye Rangeley streamers and would appreciate it if anyone would share a source of material.Thanks.

For materials like hair and feathers,you dont want to buy mail order.You should find a shop in your area and buy from them.The reason is that hair texture and color varies a great deal and to find what you want,you really have to look and feel it before you buy.Same with feathers.Most other materials are pretty much standard everywhere but not hair.

I recommend Chris Helms at Whitetail Fly Tieing Supplies. The hair I have ordered from him is much better than hair I have ordered from other sources. Call him and discuss the kind of flies you will be tying and he can tell you what you will probably be most satisfied with. I think you can find his phone number using Google. If not send me an email.
