Hareline Ozzie Possum Fur Piece

Hareline Ozzie Possum Fur Piece is a fur patch containing possum underfur and longer guard hairs. Small portions can be taken for dubbing, while the longer fibres add a more pronounced, shaggy structure to nymphs, wet flies, and small streamers.

Construction and use

Cut a piece of hide to match the amount required, then comb the fur and separate the underfur from the guard hairs. Twist the underfur in a dubbing loop or apply it to the thread, while retaining selected guard hairs as projecting accents. Work with small portions to control bulk and keep the tie-in point clear.

• Material: possum fur with underfur and longer guard hairs.
