I would imagine you could find it in the middle of the road squashed in Australia…![]()
Bearlodge Angler a FAOL sponsor sells a 'possum & Antron blend and I’m sure could get you plain 'possum too.
Found WONDERFUL “Aussie Posom Fir” packaged by New Zealand Fish and Hunt Presents (that’s the whole name of the company) at K and K Flyfishers ( www.kkflyfisher.com). Beautiful skins, great colors.
I think Granny’s got a potfull on the stove with a side of chitlin’s and gopher gravy. ![]()
Thank you all!
If you have any trouble, let me know!
By the way, if you are googling for one Ozzies call them ‘possums’.
If you are looking for dubbing, try “Awesome Possum” dubbing blends. Made from australian opossum.
Will this work?

If your looking for full hides, good luck. After much searching, I was able to locate one through a Michigan guide named Kevin Feenstra. He imports them in bulk from New Zealand for all of his tying. He’s developed quite a few “steelhead” patterns that happen work great for smallies in my neck of the woods.
Now why anyone would let a steelhead slobber up a good smallie fly is beyond me;)
