Has anybody ever used Mountain Goat fur in fly tying? Looks as if this is great material! A fully grown billy
before moulting can have hair up to 10 inches in length! I have been trying to obtain a tanned pelt - but it is a
bit rich for my blood at US$1500 to US$2500!
The fur of this beautiful animal is scarce and demand is huge.
Hey Wiets, looks awesome, but I have never tried it before. I wonder if it is better than the BEAVER fur........??
Cheers

I dont think it has the same or similar aquatic properties??Quote:

Cut off it's tail, add biggest hook and holographic eyes you can find ... non slip loop knot onto 100lb fluoro on a 14WT ... place in front of biggest GT you can find ... hold on for dear life.
Just go to the rocky's for a holiday at the end of winter. These animals shed at this time and youcan just walk around picking up the fur
Or buy Technica Yaghi goat-fur boot ($369) ...
Much cheaper
