So as i am getting more into tying muddlers I'm wondering where people get theirs from ?
Ideally I'm after somewhere that does patches of dyed hair, so just after some recommendations really...

Hi James,

Irish Fly Supplies and Rob Denson both do good dyed deer hair.

so i got a patch of dark roe hair from Cookshill fly tying.
Amazing quality, absolutely the best i have seen by some distance and at £10 for a big patch amazing value too

John Wastle

Agreed James, Cookshill dark Roe is the best I have come across for quality and quantity. Perfect for hogs, dhes and small muddlers.

I bought a complete winter Roe skin on eBay a couple of years ago, only cost about £40. Have to dye my own patches but that is not too difficult. Still go plenty of it left.
