From foot-long musky flies for your nearest warm water river to bold attractor streamers for trout, Hareline’s Fishair adds all of the movement that you need. Fishair is a synthetic material that’s roughly 70-denier in diameter, which makes it easy to work with. It can be used to create large profiles, and it quickly sheds water to make casting flies of all sizes effortless. This material has a natural sheen and comes in a myriad of different colors ranging from natural to bright. Whether you blend flash throughout or use it as is, you can use Fishair with confidence.
Uses
Fishair is an excellent material for tying streamers. This synthetic material works well when tying in tails and wings, and it can also be used to tie synthetic variations of popular patterns like the Clouser Minnow.
Comparisons
Another similar material is Steve Farrar’s Flash Blend. SF Blend is also a synthetic material that can be used very similarly to Fishair, but SF Blend tends to be a bit more crinkled and it also has flash blended throughout the fibers. Both of these are great choices, and which one you choose depends on what appearance you’re looking for in your flies.
