Default Looking for Some Tail


A standard pattern in my fly box is the Fluttering Caddis made popular
by Leonard Wright, which I tie using mink tail fibers for the downwing.
My supply of mink tail that I stocked up on years ago is looking ragged
and it is time to order more. It was once a common fly tying material
item, but I have been searching the web for mink tails in different
shades of brown, cream, and grey (pink, purple, orange, and black can
all be found on e-bay). I have not yet found a North American fly shop
or fur supplier that offers them.

Does anyone know of a fly shop or reliable supplier that sells them?

Thanks
