Spent Fly Fishing Finn Raccoon is a premium natural fly tying material prized for its incredible movement, soft texture, and versatility. With long, supple guard hairs backed by a dense, soft underfur, Finn Raccoon creates flies with plenty of profile while maintaining excellent movement in the water.
The long fibers breathe, pulse, and flow with even the slightest current or strip, making Finn Raccoon an outstanding choice for streamers, baitfish patterns, salmon and steelhead flies, and predator patterns. It provides excellent length without excessive bulk and can be tied in sparse for a sleek profile or layered when you want to build a larger, fuller fly.
The softer underfur can also be separated and used for dubbing, collars, and smaller applications, making every piece highly usable at the tying bench.
Great for:
- Streamer wings and tails
- Baitfish patterns
- Salmon and steelhead flies
- Trout and bass streamers
- Pike and predator patterns
-
Collars and composite-style flies

Whether you're tying small articulated streamers or larger patterns built to push water, this is a material you'll find yourself reaching for again and again.
