Description

Whiting Rooster Saddle feathers offer the ultimate in dry fly tying! For those of you looking for a really unique dru fly saddle with a plot of variety, this is the one for you! You get rich browns and gingers, mixed with light barred ginger feathers, a few dark barred ginger and even some very pale, almost ghost barred cream in there too. Plus, have a look at the length of the feathers in this saddle, this is one of those Pro Grade saddles that just goes well beyond the feather count you would expect, with great length and ultimately, more flies!

With long supple quills and incredible barb density capable of tying down to size 26 and even smaller, Whiting Rooster Saddle Genetic Dry Fly Hackle is the connoisseur’s choice for fly tying. This product line derives its heritage from the legendary Hoffman grizzly super hackle stock. Only Whiting Farms has this incredible genetic stock to offer you.

Whiting Rooster Saddle varieties offer a narrower range of hook sizes than capes, but have a much longer, uniform feather. Saddles generally have a size range of #14 – #16. These medium dun varieties offer some amazing feathers for those little flies that require a subtle colouration with a heavy hackle. But best of all, the consistency in length and amount of feathers means you get a serious amount of flies out of these Pro Grade capes. They really should be bumped up a grade or two!

At Troutlore, we want you to have the best choice of the best feathers possible to create perfectly floating dry flies. If you can’t see the colour of a Whiting cape 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.
