Description

The Lost Fly Whitebait Yarn is a special blend of natural and synthetic fibers to recreate popular mohair style yarns that are no longer available from the big fly tying suppliers. Thanks to Brent at The Lost Fly in Tasmania, this has again become an easy to find product in the Australian fly tying market.

Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good yarn? And the fish are no different. This soft, yet fibrous yarn makes wrapping baitfish patterns so simple. After tying in a section for the tail, it’s just a matter of wrapping the hook shank with The Lost Fly Whitebait Yarn. Then, out comes the dubbing brush to get rough wit it and create the shape you want.

After that, it’s just a matter of applying a head of your liking. You can get creative with your favourite UV resin and build up buck to suit. Or, go for the really simple option and pop on a Flymen Fishing Co Fish Mask to finish it off in a snap If you want some weight, a lead-free wire wrapping of the hook shank will get it moving down the water column. But a Fish Skull Baitfish Head (in silver to match the tones of the Whitebait Yarn) will get it diving down fast.

And of course, we have a wide range of synthetic and natural fibers for adding texture and shape to your flies. These are all kept in stock and ready to ship from Troutlore to flytiers around Australia. You can find more yarn varieties in the Yarns & Fibers Category in the Troutlore Fly Tying Store.  If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced, and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
