Red Fox Fur

Shor Red Fox Fur is a classic natural material that brings a mix of movement, texture, and versatility to a wide range of fly patterns. With soft underfur and longer guard hairs, it gives you both subtle motion and natural taper without adding bulk.

The underfur can be used for buggy, lifelike dubbing, while the longer fibers are ideal for wings, tails, and collars on everything from nymphs to streamers. 

It has a slightly coarser feel than Arctic Fox, which helps it hold profile a bit better in the water, while still maintaining that natural movement that makes fur materials so effective.

You’ll see it used across a wide range of patterns — from smaller trout flies to steelhead and salmon applications — but it’s just as useful when you want to add a bit of life and texture to streamers or leech patterns.

Whether you’re blending dubbing, building collars, or tying wings, this is one of those materials that’s easy to work with and fits into a lot of different patterns.
