Description

Veniard Genetic Saddle Grade 2 are sourced in the USA and specially selected for Veniard UK. The feathers are long and slightly less dense than the Grade 1 saddles.  The feathers size range offers plenty of size variety, but do not lend themselves to a lot of dry fly options.

As opposed to dry fly saddles, these saddles have a big range of feathers that are ideal for large saltwater and freshwater streamers. If you’re tying hollow fleyes, deceivers, bulkheads, bendbacks or flatwings, these saddles are an ideal solution. For those of you tying big murray cod flies, these Veniard Genetic Saddle Grade 1 varieties offer a great range of feathers for adding movement and profile to your flies.

One thing to note is that not all feathers in the Grade 2 saddles are perfectly white, with some yellow/cream colouring coming through in some feathers, as can be seen in the photos.

At Troutlore, we want you to have the best choice of the best feathers possible to create perfectly floating dry flies and highly attractive streamers. If you can’t see the colour of a cape or saddle you are after, please feel free to get in touch and we will do what we can to get you the feathers you need.

Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural feathers is the ideal place to start. Aside from all the hackles, marabou, Coq De Leon and Cul De Canard that we have on offer, you can find some real gems the Other Feathers Category of the Troutlore Flytying Store. If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced, and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
