Arctic Fox Fur

Shor Arctic Fox is a versatile natural hair material known for its soft, flowing movement and durability in the water. The fine fibers have a natural taper and subtle sheen, giving flies a lively, realistic profile without adding bulk.

It really shines in steelhead and salmon patterns, especially in wings and composite loops where movement matters. The fibers pulse naturally in the current, creating that “alive” look that’s hard to replicate with synthetics. It’s also a great option when you want something with more durability than marabou while still keeping that soft, flowing action.

Arctic fox is easy to work with and blends well with other materials, making it a solid choice for building shoulders, adding volume, or creating clean, tapered profiles.

Whether you’re tying steelhead flies, working with composite loops, or experimenting with streamers, this is one of those materials that adds movement without overcomplicating the tie.
