Hans,

Cool fly, although with that wing I’d call it Flak Bait.

Hans, does Arctic fox generally come in long strands like that? I have never worked with it and generally use z-lon or super hair to create a wing.

A good quality arctic fox tail has quite long hair, suitable for winging on seriously large hooks or tubes.

Cheers,

Thanks Hans. I’ll have to buy me some and give it a try. I like the naturals more than the synthetics.
