seal substitute?

Recommended Posts

If you want seals fur I second Dave McNeese the guy is awesome. More than helpful I ordered five packs he wrote me a personal letter explaining how he dyes his materials, he won me over as customer. People should check out his site and see some of his flies if you haven't.. Anyways thought i would share that.

seal dubbing is still legal in the US as it isn't taken from seals killed recently the dubbing actually comes from the liners of Russian cold war era military parkas and as long as you buy it from a reputable dealer your safe I have bought 2 or 3 times from John McClain without any issues
