North American Opossum – Skeena River
A premium alternative to rabbit, North American Opossum offers exceptional versatility for fly tying. Ideal for zonker strips, this material provides superior action in the water while remaining easy to cast.
Key Features:
- Lightweight & Water-Resistant – Unlike rabbit, opossum absorbs very little water, making casting effortless.
- Thin, Flexible Hide – Easier to tie with, creating less bulk on the hook.
- Natural "Buggy" Appearance – Long, soft guard hairs add movement and realism to wet flies.
- Vibrant Colors – Dyed over natural for deep, rich tones that enhance fly presentation.
Perfect for zonker strips, streamer wings, and wet fly patterns, North American Opossum is a must-have material for fly tiers looking for durability, movement, and ease of use.

IF INTERESTED IN ORDERING FLIES?
It has become very difficult to keep a good stock of quality flies as I tie many of the patterns myself especially the custom streamers. If you are interested in ordering flies and do not see stock available please forward me a list of what you would like in the chat, by email, or Facebook message. I will provide you a quote and delivery date and only accept payment when the flies are ready to ship. Please note that It will be very unlikely that I will be able to provide custom flies during the summer months (between June-August)
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause
