Cool video

Beautiful tie Denis and the photography is outstanding! The first time I saw a opossum up close the hair just screamed streamer wing (I had to remove one "playing possum" in my yard before my Lab retrieved it) I have various fox tails but no opossum, tip dyed or otherwise, so I'll try tying with what I have. If I come across some opossum like that I'm buying it. I think Future Fly distributes it.
Thanks for the fine tutorial...

Опосум?
Интересно.
Я тоже искал такой оригинал или хотя-бы аналог с покраской, но всё тщетно.

Hi Denis liked the video of the lava tail, can you please tell me where you get your possum from?

[@Fishing7776]

Great fly,
Just a question What could you substitute the tail for? Could you use Artic fox if so what would you do? Put hot orange over a yellow?
thanks.

[@salmosperoeliteflys]

Hi Fishing7776 the Arctic fox will work perfectly well
