MFC Mottled Schlappen

MFC’s Mottled Schlappen brings rich, natural patterning and exceptional movement to your streamer and steelhead tying. These feathers come from the softest, webbiest part of the cape, giving you long, flowing fibers that breathe and pulse with every strip or swing. What sets MFC’s version apart is the signature mottled print—subtle variegation that adds depth, contrast, and a believable, fishy silhouette to any pattern.

Whether you’re building full collars on Intruders, wrapping soft hackle sections on trout or bass streamers, or adding a touch of mottled texture to larger articulated flies, this schlappen ties in easily and moves beautifully. The long fibers marry well with marabou, ostrich, and flash, making it a staple for modern steelhead and trout streamer designs.

If you want a feather that gives your flies more dimension, more life, and more presence in the water without adding stiffness or bulk, this is it.
