Raccoon fur

There are those that swear by raccoon fur, me included.......and there are those that either have their doubts, or just find the material to heavy to cast once its soaked. I prefer to tie a lot more natural materials on to my flies than synthetics especially feathers and Coon fur. The great thing about raccoon fur is that if combed through thoroughly with a very fine comb before applying to a hook, one can halve the amount of weight down as you end up extracting all or most of the underfur or down fur which leaves you with just the long outer hairs & a shit load of dubbing material for free.
