Veevus Floss is a fine, flat synthetic fly tying floss designed for creating smooth, vibrant bodies, tags, tails, butts, and hot spots on trout flies, salmon flies, steelhead patterns, wet flies, and nymphs. Made from synthetic polyamide artificial silk, this floss wraps cleanly with a sleek finish and minimal bulk, making it a great choice for both classic and modern fly patterns.
Its bright color payoff and smooth profile make Veevus Floss especially useful when you need clean segmentation, polished bodies, or bold trigger points. Whether you are tying traditional wet flies, classic salmon patterns, steelhead tags, or small hot spots on nymphs, this floss delivers a crisp, high-visibility finish at the vise.
Veevus Floss gives fly tyers a clean, bright, and professional-looking body material that is easy to control on a wide range of patterns. It lays flatter than bulky yarns, builds smoother than dubbing, and adds a classic glossy look to flies where color and finish matter. We especially like it for bright tags, butts, tails, and slim bodies that need to stand out without adding excess bulk.
Veevus Floss is ideal for tying:
For the brightest finish, lay down a smooth white thread underbody before wrapping Veevus Floss. Floss can appear darker over dark hooks or black thread, especially once wet, so a light base helps the color stay vivid and clean.
To prevent fraying, keep your fingers smooth and avoid dragging the floss across rough skin, sharp hook points, or damaged scissors. When tying in at the rear of the fly, fold a tag end forward and wrap over it to lock the floss securely in place so it does not slip off the bend.
Use even, controlled tension while wrapping to keep the floss flat and smooth. For extra durability and shine, finish the body with a light coat of head cement or thin UV resin.
