Wow they have a nice selection for sale.
I tied those when I was a kid in the early 70's for me and my old man to use in Barkley sound for coho.

I should teach my kid to tie those, she can make a few bucks selling them. LOL. They're easy to make.

I was fortunate to find a guy who tied them and was selling last summer at the Pender Farmers/Weekly Market. We were over visiting friends and I begrudgingly was dragged to the market but lucky to find this individual guy's work; priced well and looked great!!

I am sure through Jay's Clayoquot Adventures out of Tofino you could find some? He does have a tackle business there and bucktailing certainly isn't completely unknown over there.

I don't know that any of the local Vancouver (again not sure where you are based) fly AND salt shops like Pacific Angler may have some?


If anyone has trouble finding the Bucktail catalogue of the aforementioned shop in the Kootenays.....it took a bit of scrolling/digging for it. Hopefully this link works. http://www.gillandgift.com/FLY catalogue.html

Is this what you mean? Most on this pic (all that's left) come from the Frumento & Clan in the Fifties - all the movie types used them to fish coho in the Bay. Nov/Dec 50 listened to the radio guy talking about Wayne or some other guy fishing the Cowichan Bay. Years ago Earl (Frumento, now deceased) & I tried them at the derby, & I caught an insignificant one that got me a booby prize. alp

Sea-Run in coquitlam has them, but man................... do they want a lot for them!!!!!!!!!!! Some as high as $10.00 a fly!

I actually tie my own and it is fun incorporating some of the newer materials into the patterns. I just finished tying a bunch up for a fellow in Knight Inlet. The tough part of course is finding suitable polar bear hair.
