Where can I find long bucktail?

[tinpusher]

I need some bucktail (in various colors) with long hairs (7"+). I am tying up saltwater flies on 4/0 hooks. If anyone has some or knows of a store, online or local, that has some in stock please let me know.

Hey tinpusher, 7" bucktail is going to be pretty hard to find.
Have you tried saltwater Yak hair?
Looks great. Plenty of length.

Phearless... I need some too for Kootenay Lake bucktails,,,,where can I get that? I would have to mail order cuz there are no stores around here that carry fly tying stuff at all.

I will look into Yak hair. Thanks

Hey Kettle,
you can get the hair at any of the shops.
If they don't have it they can probably order it in for you.

Well I went to the only shop in the area...about 135 Kms east in Castlegar and they have Yak hair...the stuff is funny but ties nicely.....thanks for the tips
