Description: Opossum body fur is a versatile material that can be used by fly tiers in a variety of ways to create different types of flies. Here's a brief description of how a fly tier might use opossum body fur: Dubbing: One common use for opossum body fur is as dubbing material. Dubbing is a technique where the fly tier creates a "noodle" of fur, which is then wrapped around the hook shank to create the body of the fly. Opossum body fur is often used for this because it has a fine texture, and a soft natural look. Wing Material: Opossum body fur can also be used as wing material for certain types of flies. For example, it can be used to create the wings for a Caddis Fly pattern. The fur can be stacked and trimmed to the desired shape and size before being tied onto the hook. Collar Material: Opossum body fur can also be used as a collar material for wet flies and streamers. A collar is a small amount of fur tied just behind the head of the fly to create a "halo" effect around the body. Opossum body fur is ideal for this because it is soft and mobile in the water, creating a lifelike effect. Nymph Bodies: Opossum body fur can also be used to create the body of a Nymph Fly pattern. The fur can be wrapped around the hook shank to create a segmented effect, mimicking the look of a real insect nymph. Overall, opossum body fur is a versatile material that can be used in a variety of ways by fly tiers. Its soft texture and natural appearance make it an attractive choice for many different types of flies.
