Foxy Tails Newsletter

Whether you prefer to buy ready-to-fish lures or craft your own bespoke patterns from scratch, Foxy Tails has the materials and know-how to help you get more from every cast. Their eNewsletter was a popular resource for tips, new stock alerts, and exclusive subscriber offers.

An Exceptional Range of Natural and Synthetic Materials

At the heart of the Foxy Tails range is an outstanding selection of natural pelts and hairs. Arctic fox tails, marble fox, shadow fox, mink tails, raccoon, coypu nutria, and wild boar bristles sit alongside a wide variety of synthetic alternatives. Dubbing, braids, poppers, shanks, eyes, and tails round out the collection, giving fly tyers everything they need to dress flies for salmon, sea trout, steelhead, and freshwater species. Popular partner brands including FutureFly, Flymen, and TFS feature throughout the range.

Build Your Own Bespoke Lures

Fly tying is as much an art as it is a technique, and Foxy Tails is built around that idea. The catalogue gives anglers the freedom to select the exact materials that suit their preferred fishing style, target species, and local water conditions. Whether dressing a classic hairwing salmon fly, tying small low-water Dee or Spey patterns with neat mink-tail wings, or experimenting with modern synthetic profiles, the depth of stock on offer makes it possible to achieve professional results at home.

Expert Tips and Subscriber Offers

Beyond the materials themselves, Foxy Tails offered real value through its eNewsletter, which delivered professional tying tips and advice drawn from experienced anglers and tyers. Subscribers also received access to exclusive offers and early notification of new product lines, making it a worthwhile resource for anyone serious about improving their fly-fishing results on the water.
