Default Looking for these fly tying materials
I'm looking for these fly tying materials from one or two shops. Does anyone know where I can buy them from?
  • Tube Fly Adapter
  • Arctic Runner - Yellow & Orange
  • Lite-Brite - Gold
  • Goat hair - Black
  • Holographic tinsel - Silver
  • Black floss


I'm also after Dilly Wax and a pair of scissors with a serrated blade for cutting hair such as bucktail and squirrel


I was going to buy them at Wharfedale Angling today, but Steve has taken his stock to the fishing show at Newark

Is this tube fly adapter worth the money?

The tube fly adaptor will be ok - I've used a similar one for years, although be prepared for tubes to still have the tendency to turn on the needle. Something to consider as an alternative would be a Hakan Norling or 'Swedish', stepped, tube needle.

The Swedish tube needle is a popular tube adapter for the FITS-system. It will hold the different diameters of tube tightly and has a serrated tip to hold metal tubes better. (picture) - Swedish tube needle - Swedish tube needle - Global FlyFisher

If you're looking to buy hair have a look at this site -

Fly Tying Hair & Fur Foxy-Tails.co.uk

Fabulous quality and decent sized pieces. Arctic Runner is hard to come by and very expensive.

What do you think to the wax? Is it as good as I have heard?
