Permanent Marker Pens

[Wildfisher]

I use them a fair bit in fly tying but can't find an olive one for sale.

Anyone seen such a thing?

This place has a really massive choice of markers including many ranges of olive.

I've used them in the past and find the female staff there to be very knowledgeable on their products. I have used the Copic Ciao range of markers to colour white bucktail (amongst other things) for saltwater flies and can vouc. h for their colour fastness and ease of use.
The pen tops denote the colour of the marker and is a pretty accurate indicator of the result you get when used on a white surface. Cheap and long lasting too.

Thanks guys that's a great help.

Fred, have a look at Kurecolor markers. You'll want colour number 544, you can get them from hobbycrafts or other such places.

Thanks Ben.  I've only started using marker pens for fly tying recently although  I have had loads of them (except olive) for years. Don't know why that is, just a bit stuck in my ways I suppose.  :lol:

They really are useful and expand the use of your existing materials.

I do colour a lot of things with markers, I've coloured mallard flanks for wings and hackle feathers too along with the usual nymph skin/latex etc.
