Nutria's Amazing Qualities

Nutria hair is very shiny and stiff with a regressed taper. These properties make Nutria great for use in fly tying. Nutria hair maintains it's position in the water, yet it is flexible enough that it moves in the current, almost like vibration.

We use it mostly as a replacement for feather hackle, in particular for support of softer wing materials like marabou and arctic fox (link). Ideal for support of Intruder wings and Temple Dog-style wings. The Nutria will maintain much better support then a feather under-hackle.
