JMC Silver Fox
Premium Silver Fox Hair for Salmon, Steelhead and Predator Streamers
JMC Silver Fox is premium natural Silver Fox hair valued for its long, silky fibres and distinctive black-tipped guard hairs. The combination of a dense underfur and long flowing outer hairs creates beautiful natural movement while maintaining an elegant profile, making it one of the preferred materials for modern Salmon, Steelhead and predator fly patterns.
Compared with Arctic Fox, Silver Fox generally offers longer fibres and more pronounced natural contrast thanks to its characteristic black tips. This allows fly tyers to create realistic wings with smooth colour transitions and exceptional movement without combining multiple materials.
What is JMC Silver Fox?
Silver Fox is natural fox fur consisting of a dense, soft underfur covered by long, supple guard hairs. These guard hairs provide the exceptional movement and the distinctive black tips that have made Silver Fox a favourite material for modern Scandinavian fly patterns.
The material is widely used for Hair Wing flies, Tube Flies, streamers and large baitfish imitations where flowing movement is more important than maintaining a rigid profile. It can be used on its own or combined with Arctic Fox, Bucktail and flash materials to create highly realistic layered wings.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONCompared with Arctic Fox, Silver Fox generally offers longer fibres, a cleaner profile and its characteristic black-tipped guard hairs, creating a more pronounced natural contrast. Compared with Supreme Goat, Silver Fox is softer and produces more movement, while goat hair is better suited for very long, slim wing profiles. If you are tying modern Scandinavian Salmon flies, Steelhead patterns or large predator streamers that require maximum natural movement with elegant proportions, Silver Fox is one of the finest natural materials available. |
