New Zealand Possum Tail Dark Brown

These natural New Zealand possum tail are expertly harvested, prepared and tanned before export and the big jump across the ditch so you can make the most of them in your fly tying. It took us a long time to find the right supplier of possum tails and body hair in New Zealand and we are confident that these are of the best quality you are going to find.

Best of all, they help to reduce the possum problem in NZ and help protect the local wildlife by reducing the possum population. All that, AND you now have the only material you can really use to tie a possum tail emerger. Nothing else compares. The slightly oily, very wiry hair is quite unlike any other animal hide or tail hair and so is a must have on any tying bench. What’s more, with the tails averaging approximately 30cm each, there is enough hair on there to keep any fly tying well stocked until the turn of the century. You should be right with just the one of these, that’s for certain.

Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural feathers is the ideal place to start. Aside from all the hackles, marabou, Coq De Leon and Cul De Canard that we have on offer, you can find some real gems the Other Feathers Category of the Troutlore Flytying Store.

If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced, and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
