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.
