The Whiting Saddles are a top choice for tying dry flies – whether classic Adams patterns or modern Stimulators. They boast a remarkable quantity of feathers ranging from extremely small (down to hook size 20 and smaller) to relatively large feathers for bushy dry flies or to enhance your streamers. Thanks to their flexible yet sturdy stems, they are easy to work with. Additionally, their stiff fibers provide excellent flotation properties to your dry flies. Moreover, these feathers are characterized by nearly consistent fiber length, which is particularly advantageous for tying dense and uniform hackle collars.
Apart from dry flies, these saddles are also suitable for tying streamers – for example, as body hackle on a Woolly Bugger or to add the finishing touch to larger pike or saltwater streamers. The Whiting Gold Saddles are among the highest-quality feathers on the market, and one can be confident that each feather from this saddle can be used for various fly patterns - making tying flies a pleasure!
