The earliest hackle pioneers were Harry Darby and Minnesota attorney Andy Minor. Their stocks were the foundation for almost all genetic hackle lines today. In the mid 1960s Henry Hoffman of Oregon began raising the finest dry fly grizzly in the world. During the 1970s and 80s through the work of pioneers like Hoffman, Hebert and Metz a greater quality and availability of hackle began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1988 Thomas Whiting of Colorado finished his doctorate in poultry science and launched himself into the the world of hackle. Starting with the well known Hoffman dry fly hackle line he also introduced other assorted stocks to broaden the color range and genetic foundation with which to work.  In 1997 Tom Whiting purchased the Hebert hackle line to complement the range of products offered by Whiting Farms. Now, after years of careful  experimentation and refinement of the genetic selection of hackle stocks the feather products from Whiting farms have risen to new level of quality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe differences between grades is determined by assessing usable feather length, range of hook sizes, and ultimately the total number of flies that can be tied from the pelt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach Cape is carefully evaluated and graded for the following items\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- fine supple quills for neat effortless wrapping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e- freedom from web for more strength and less absorbency\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e- uniform barb length for optimal appearance and higher floating flies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e- high barb count for more hackle per turn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e- high barb strength for maximum support on the water's surface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e- a longer sweet spot the area where the prime hackle resides on the feather\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e- full generous pelts for excellent value and economy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whiting Farms","offers":[{"title":"Grizzly","offer_id":9491811589,"sku":"","price":73.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grizzly dyed Olive","offer_id":43139796074557,"sku":"95501134","price":73.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0220\/0852\/products\/100_1161.JPG?v=1652475070"},{"product_id":"whiting-farms-high-and-dry-cape-barred-ginger","title":"Whiting Farms-High and Dry Cape - Barred Ginger","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA less expensive dry fly line with all the Whiting qualities the discerning tier expects.

The story begins with legendary fly-tier Harry Darby, who after many years of his own work, passed on some of his Darby hackle stock hatching eggs to Andy Miner, a meticulous Minnesota lawyer with a passion for fly tying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy Miner, driven by patience and precision, embarked on a journey of careful breeding and selection. Through his experimentation and attention to detail, he created a superior strain of rooster hackle, doing his part in advancing the quality of dry fly hackle. By 1974, Ted Hebert, from Michigan, acquired the best of the Miner stock and continued the genetic selection process. Hebert, following Miner's example, refined the hackle further, improving its qualities and colors over the next two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1997, Tom Whiting, Ph.D., President of Whiting Farms, took over the stewardship of this exceptional hackle gene pool.

The earliest hackle pioneers were Harry Darby and Minnesota attorney Andy Minor. Their stocks were the foundation for almost all genetic hackle lines today. In the mid 1960s Henry Hoffman of Oregon began raising the finest dry fly grizzly in the world. During the 1970s and 80s through the work of pioneers like Hoffman, Hebert and Metz a greater quality and availability of hackle began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1988 Thomas Whiting of Colorado finished his doctorate in poultry science and launched himself into the the world of hackle.
