Jay Fair Short Shuck

[MTaylor]

Anybody out there have some Jay Fair Short Shuck in peacock? I have a couple of favorite patterns which use it and I have run out. For some reason the peacock color isn't sold anymore. Shoot me a PM and we'll work out payment and postage.

Call Lincoln Gray @ Sierra Stream & Mountain fly shop in Chico, CA.

They bought Jay Fair's material company and are the distributor, wholesale and retail.

I have checked their website. Lots of colors and shades, but no peacock.

One of my favorite colors too, so this is disappointing news. I had noticed that it has gotten harder to find, now I know why. For what it is worth, I had noticed that the color could vary quite a bit for the peacock color. Sometimes it was pretty dark, nearly the equivalent of black, and sometimes it light and indistinguishable from olive brown. Do you favor the dark or the light variant? Probably have an extra pack somewhere I can spare. I now use olive brown where I used to use peacock because of the unreliable quality.

Hareline’s Ice Dub in Peacock is the best substitute to the Jay Fair Short or Long Shuck Peacock.


Jay Fair Short and Long Shuck in Peacock has been discontinued for about 4 years.

Let me check my stash. I might have a couple packs in the pile. I know Jay gave me a couple skeins of that color because I was using to tie up some of my surf patterns
