Keough Hackles

A few years ago I had the pleasure of visiting with Bill Keough at his farm in Mendon Michigan. He is a man on the move, but none the less, he took the time to give me the grand tour.

Much to my surprise, Keough Hackles is a one man operation. From hatch to harvest, he is on the job. He even showed me his skining chair, with a TV close by so he can keep up with his favorite soaps.

His hands-on work ethic has paid off for him. Today Keough Hackles is one of the largest producers of quality genetic hackle on the market.

The "Working Man's Hackle"

Keough Hackles offers an exceptional grade of hackle at an affordable price. His dry fly cock capes have feathers that you can tie sizes from 4 down to 22 and smaller. The barring on the grizzly is clean and well balanced. The feathers have flexible stems, a high barb density, and stiff barbs.

"Masters Tyer's Grade" is Keough's highest grade. Second is his "Tyer's Grade". Both are an excellent value and you can be assured that you will tie the maximum number of flies for the least amount of money. For those of you who have yet to tie with one, you should try them out.

If you're looking for soft webby feathers that will quickly absorb water, these are ideal.

The feathers are long and webby making them very soft.

One of the benefits of a hen cape is that the smaller sizes on the top of the neck have a stem long enough to give you a few wraps - even on the smallest of flys.
