Probably as cheap to buy dyed tails as to buy dye and go through the hassle. I always buy dyed and use natural as is.

Welcome to the forum.

Good idea.

It sure stains stuff when you do not want it to.

yes I agree what I’ve tried been a pain and it didn’t work I’ve done more research and they say it needs to be boiled with dye and vinegar. To much of a pain

How many other species have hollow hair like deer?

Should make excellent floating flys.

Or jigs.

They use deer hair to tie like mice or poppers because it’s hollow it’s called spinning hair on the hook it’s really cool to watch people that are good at it , me I’m not so good at it haha. I can tie a decent crappie jig Or musky buck tail.
