Hardly any topic causes as much debate among salmon fly tiers as the quality, type, length, color, or texture of fox hair. Fox has become the crucial material for the wing in countless classics, from Sweden to Canada and back to Finnmark, alluring fox flies adorn salmon catch logs around the world.
As early as the 1980s, Mikael Frödin pioneered the use of soft fox hair for the wings of salmon flies—a technique that has since become a hallmark of Scandinavian fly tying art. Fox fur comes in a variety of crosses and qualities, and Frödin places great importance on using top-notch materials in all his designs. The soft fox hair is carefully dyed in an exclusive palette of 15 colors, then dried, brushed, and meticulously selected. Quality that pays off at the tying bench and later on the water!
Frödin offers Fox Hair in four different qualities, derived from both body hairs and tails. The SNS Fox Body Hair Supreme is a long body hair with a length of 5-10 cm, versatile in its use due to its longer, straight fibers and soft underfur. It's perfect for medium-sized tubes and as a over wing for flies up to 8 cm, ensuring optimal movement in the water.
