Fox Squirrel Tails
Fox Squirrel Tails are a versatile natural fly tying material prized for their long, fine fibres, natural movement, and distinctive barred coloration. The blend of brown, tan, grey, and black tones creates a highly natural appearance that works exceptionally well for trout, salmon, steelhead, bass, and streamer patterns.
Fox squirrel tail hair has a slightly stiffer texture than many soft furs, helping wings maintain their shape while still providing excellent movement in the water. The naturally tapered fibres make it easy to create clean wings, tails, underwings, throats, collars, and accents without excessive bulk.
A staple material for traditional and modern fly tying, fox squirrel is particularly effective on streamers, wet flies, nymphs, hair-wing salmon flies, and steelhead flies where natural coloration and controlled movement are desired.
