Dry Fly Hackle

This is not your typical barnyard rooster feather. Far from it. This feather is the result of over 50 years of selective breeding.

So what makes this feathers so special? Barb density and stiffness, feather symetry, and stem shape, are just a few criteria that are used to judge whether or not these genes will find their way into future generations.

It's not surprising that it took over 50 years of intensive selection preasure to reach this level of perfection.

Tips... Rooster Cape or Rooster Saddle?


dry fly hackleWhen deciding whether to buy a dry fly cape or saddle there are a few things to first consider. First, what sizes are you planning to tie? With a good rooster cape you can tie sizes 6 to 26. Rooster saddles on the other hand have a very narrow size range, usually just two or three. The feathers are long and narrow and you can easily tie six or seven flies of the same size from just one feather.

Dry flies need good strong tails and dry fly capes have great tailing fibers along the edges of the cape. These are the feathers that would be on the throat of the rooster. They are called spade hackle and have the strongest fibers, feathers needed to protect the throat from the sharp spurs of other roosters.

So if you're just getting started, I recommend capes. Once you settle in on your favorite flies to fish, buy dry fly saddles or 100 packs in those sizes and colors. That way you keep your rooster capes looking nice for tying a variety of sizes of your favorites as well as some new patterns.

Mayfly Winger Feathers

Many people ask "what is the best feather to use for tying wings on my dry flies?"

Years ago, tyers were able to use hen necks. However, with hackle growers breeding for smaller and smaller hackle sizes, today these feathers are too narrow and "dry-fly" like.

Well, here is a feather that works well; nice barring, web right up to the edge, and nice round tips - all making for the perfect siloette on the water.
