Ready for more fly tying and heaps of it!

Recently had a few materials arrive from various places and some hooks (thanks Roger!)
Stick on 3D eyes, synthetic tail material, a nice white saddle hackle patch (for white deceivers) and some Loon UV Clear to hold those 3D eyes in place.

Today via the new Spotlight store in Darwin that has just opened, I bought some craft fur - and it has a good range of craft furs

I bought a 50cm width of white fur - not quite polarfibre but a very useful fly tying material all the same
Especially the price for VIP spotlight members $28 a metre (thirty something dollars for non members)
So my 50cm width piece was $14 ............and is 1.8m long!!!!

Here is my youngest daughter laying on the material thinking its hers now she has laid on it!


Plenty of
useful fibres from 4-7cm

There were a few other colours and tricolours (one interesting fur was white, with purple and pink tip like streaks)

As I will be teaching my Yr10 Marine Studies students how to make some jigs and flies with this material - I will need plenty of the material. Finishing touches to the students flies will be some clear sparkly fabric paint and some stick on eyes.
