miked 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 Hey all. Well starting to think that I really need to get started on my warmwater tying. One thing I'm thinking of trying this year are diver type flies. My question is does anyone know where I can find Deer hair in white?? I know I can find it in small packs but I'm looking for those strips that are about 15" long. I can find them in just about every color but white. Also I'm lazy and not very adventurous so dying/bleaching my own really is not a plan. Unless someone can give me VERY easy simple instructions!! Thanks Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zach Bearden 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 I have NEVER been able to find soft white deer hair... Its always really stiff and hard to spin... I don;t know if this is from bleaching or something else... so I don't recomend trying to bleach some... O.o Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the best (IMHO) there is with anything involving deer hair.Tell him what you want and he'll find it for you. 1-800-579-5549 Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are those even legal to have? I don't know, but I could believe if they were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyrite 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 Hi Mike there are a few places that you can get Deer hair in 15" by 2" strips. I order mine through stream side inc. and He orders them from wapsi or hareline. So if you are interested George at stream side inc. he might be able to order it. He can get Deer Belly no problem. If not PM me and I might be able to help you. tyrite (Glen Dayton) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDRRedneck500 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 id say just get some friends that hunt. you can get a pretty much limitless supply that way. also ive never had any problem spinning white deer belly hair. but then again they are always from deer my dad or his friends shot. so i dont know if the way they tan it or process it can affect it in any way...

Faster Fish 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 Hareline sells premo packs. Don't buy the died on bleach stuff unless you have to have a solid color. I use died natural stuff and after trimming the colors look good. The white stuff for the died natural is just lightly bleached. To much bleach and it makes the hairs to brittle. But give Chris Helm a jingle and he will set you up with what you need. He is the #1 hair guy. IMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
