fishing wool
Question
what kind of wool is use for fishing
Answer
Hi Dave,
I am guessing that you are talking about fly tying materials. I think that most of the wool used for egg imitations is regular old sheep wool. You buy it by the square. Most people now use synthetics like Glo-Bug yarn. The colors are more vivid. For big streamers they sell the longer Icelandic sheep hair that is great for 6"+ long streamers.
Where the fly tying material suppliers get this stuff, I don't know.
I hope that answers your question.
Good fishing,
Marc
