Why Choose Troutline’s Tanned Nutria Fur Pieces?
Realistic Texture and Natural Movement:
- Soft Underfur: The fine underfur is perfect for creating buggy, realistic bodies for nymphs, wet flies, and emergers. It gives a lifelike texture that attracts fish in both freshwater and saltwater.
- Guard Hairs: The long guard hairs create a natural spiky appearance, mimicking legs, antennae, or the movement of small aquatic prey like shrimp, baby fish, or caddis larvae. This is ideal for adding volume to flies without making them overly bulky.
Light Barred Pattern for Realism:
- The lightly barred pattern of the fur adds extra realism, making these pieces ideal for imitating baby fish, garnelute, and other small aquatic creatures. The natural color variations in the fur offer a great option for streamer patterns, particularly micro baitfish imitations that target species like seatrout, trout, and bass.
Versatile for Multiple Fly Patterns:
- These 10x10 cm pieces are perfect for creating a wide variety of flies, including dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, and streamers. They can be used for creating tails, wings, legs, and even dubbing for your flies.
- The Zonker-style streamer is a popular pattern where Nutria fur really shines. The long guard hairs provide an excellent swimming action, making the streamer imitate a small, distressed baitfish in the water.
Easy to Work With:
- The tanned Nutria fur is incredibly soft and flexible, making it easy to work with for both beginners and experienced fly tyers. The 10x10 cm pieces offer a manageable size that is easy to cut, strip, and blend with other materials like CDC or synthetic fibers.
Durability:
- The tanned finish ensures that the fur retains its texture and effectiveness even after prolonged exposure to water, making it perfect for long-lasting fly patterns. Nutria fur holds up well under challenging conditions, ensuring that your flies remain effective for longer.
Ideal for Zonker Streamers and Micro Baitfish Patterns:
These pieces are excellent for tying Zonker-style streamers, as the fur offers great movement in the water, mimicking the action of small baitfish or crustaceans. The long guard hairs create a natural swimming motion that helps to attract fish, making them ideal for seatrout, trout, bass, and other predatory species.
