Feathers

Our Collection of Fly Tying Feathers: 

  • We sell many types of hackle feathers used for making the wings of streamers.
  • Strung neck and rooster saddle feathers are a beginners feather for wing making.
  • View the favorite Whiting American saddle streamer capes in our Hackle collection.

Fly Tying Feathers were some of the first fly tying materials.

  • DRIES
  • NYMPHS
  • STREAMERS

HACKLES, CAPES, and TAILS, oh my!

  • Dry flies feathers are used to create the hackle that keeps the fly floating. These dry fly feathers are pulled off of capes which can be seen on our hackle collection page.
  • Special feathers with stiff fibers are used to create tails on classic Catskill style dry flies.
  • Feathers have a great variety of uses when tying nymphs. 

Feather fibers examples:

  • Webby tails
  • Wing cases
  • Complete peacock bodies (like on the Prince nymph). 

    Local History:

    • The Rangeley area is home of the feather wing streamer and the tiers who created them. Carrie Stevens, Herb Welch and many lesser known tiers spent their years in our area in the pursuit of that perfect smelt imitation.
