Fly Tying Materials: Thin Skin
Thin Skin is a .004" thick, stretchable and transparent sheet material that has a matte finish on one side and a shiny finish on the other. It is backed with a paper backing which makes it easy to cut into strips of all sizes. When the paper is removed, the transparent sheet can easily be tied onto the fly.
The printed patterns on our Thin Skin can create an extremely realistic and/or dramatic look to the fly. Because Thin Skin stretches and compresses when thread or wire is wrapped around it, it is an ideal material to use for shellbacks on flies such as scuds or sowbugs or for wing cases on nymphs of all types. Bass and saltwater fly tyers use it to tie segmented crayfish and shrimp patterns.
- The Solid colors are matte on one side and glossy on the other
- The Mottled colors resemble natural turkey mottled oak
- The Bustard colors have a finer pattern than the Mottled
