I have a friend that is looking for a piece of urin stained female fox belly fur (no this is not a joke). He has been looking for this for years and insists the “modern day materials just aren’t the same.” He’s an older fella who’s set in his ways. Can anyone help find a place that might sell such a unique piece of material?

Of course that’s not a joke! How else will he tie a correct Hendrickson:

they are great people to deal with. i drive 100 miles round trip to visit the store several times a year. ask for rob (one of the owners) if he is not in there will be someone knowledgable on hand to help you.
good luck

Can’t he just do like the rest of us and buy regular female fox belly hair , take it out to his backyard , and pee on it himself ?
Life is like a fly swap…You never know what your going to get.

grumps… I used to buy quite a bit when Jim Krul still owned EAT. I orded from them when The Angler’s Den took over. I am still waiting for the last few items from my last order from them. That was over a year ago. I have sent e-mails and called and have not gotten any satisfaction from them. I don’t expect to ever get the missing articles from the last order. And it WILL be my last order from them.

There is no greater fan of flyfishing than the worm.

I called the Angler’s Den and they said they would be getting some in about two weeks. Thanks for your help folks! You just made an 80 something man very happy.
BTW, he had suggested peeing on clean fur, but he decided his neighbors might not like watching him do it!
Weasal,
Be sure to tell your friend to wash his hands really well when he is done with that tying session. 8T
You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it’s a real short camping season.
Didn’t I read in an earlier thread on this that there is some thought that the vixen fur is special partly because of her licking? Now those of you that are thinking of creating your own should consider adding that to the equation [G].
