Arctic Blue Fox Tail
Premium Arctic Blue Fox Tail for Streamers, Salmon and Steelhead Flies
Arctic Blue Fox Tail is one of the most popular natural materials for tying modern streamers, Hair Wing flies, salmon flies and Steelhead patterns. Its long, silky-soft fibres produce exceptional movement in the water, pulsating naturally with even the slightest current or strip. This lifelike action makes Blue Fox one of the finest natural wing materials for baitfish imitations and large predator flies.
Despite creating excellent volume, Blue Fox absorbs very little water, allowing fly tyers to build large, mobile flies that remain surprisingly easy to cast. The long guard hairs are ideal for wings, tails, collars, heads and composite loops, while the soft underfur can be removed and used as premium natural dubbing.
What is Arctic Blue Fox Tail?
Blue Fox is the blue colour phase of the Arctic Fox. The tail features long, silky guard hairs supported by a dense, soft underfur. Unlike many stiffer natural hairs, Blue Fox maintains a flowing, natural appearance underwater while still offering enough structure to form elegant wings and tails. This combination of movement and profile has made it a favourite material for Scandinavian salmon flies, Steelhead patterns and modern predator streamers.
The material is easy to handle, blends beautifully with flash fibres and synthetic materials, and can be used to build tapered wings with outstanding translucency and natural motion.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONIf your priority is maximum natural movement, Arctic Blue Fox Tail is one of the finest natural materials available. Compared to Bucktail, it offers significantly more fluid motion in the water. Compared to Supreme Goat, the fibres are shorter and softer, making Blue Fox the better choice for compact streamers, Hair Wing flies and Tube Fly patterns where movement is more important than maintaining a rigid profile. |
Classic Applications of Arctic Blue Fox Tail
Arctic Blue Fox Tail is widely used for Hair Wing flies, Tube Flies, modern pike streamers, salmon and Steelhead flies, as well as numerous saltwater patterns.
