Pink vixen red fox fur
I got an E-mail this morning from a friend after yesterdays blizzard. He saw a fox in the yard feeding at the bird feeder and he thought of the use of pink, urine stained underbelly fox fur. He credited its use to an American, Eric Leiser, who may have mentioned it but certainly the use of that fox fur dates to very early American writers and no doubt back to the British and others in Europe.
Do any of you know who first wrote of using pink, urine stained underbelly fur of the vixen red fox in tying flies?
Tight Lines!
