David , I wish I knew what size flies your tying to determined the length of
hair needed. Most of the major fly catalogs have goat hair as well Artic Fox
tail ,dyed in different colors and I feel our group here gave you some
sorces. I like using calf tail if you can get the shiney ones with straight
hair and usually that only can be gotten up to two inches. When you order
some type of hair , call them first to se their suggestions and if available
,make sure you ask you need hair for a certain size hook ,type of fly your
tying etc.. You do this with hackle also. You can check out the old Hunters
Fly Shop now called Stone River Outfitters .at
Web; www.StoneRiverOutfitters.com They got all kinds of hair and colors
and the right size hackle if needed. Again you have to include the hook size
and most suppliers will try their best to match what you need. Example you
really don't need something to tie a #14 hook fly and really you need
material for a 2/0 hook that is 3x long and include the brand name of the
hook and hook sizes..Buck tails , really make wonderful streamers.as long it
not having course hair. and seeing all the lead head jigs for bass and pike
works well for trout and salmon. I really like using buck tails.... Glenn
