Whiting Hen Saddle - Grizzly

Whiting’s classic Grizzly Hen Saddle delivers soft, densely webbed hackle with alternating light and dark barring — perfect for adding lifelike texture and gentle movement to your flies. The feathers have flexible quills and strong barbs, making them ideal for building flowing soft-hackle collars, legs, tails, and body accents on wet flies, nymphs, and emerger-style patterns.

These grizzly hackles also offer useful versatility for migratory and steelhead-style flies: while not as rigid as dry-fly hackle, they’re often used for subtle tailing or accent segments that move naturally in the current. Burned or trimmed, the tips can form delicate dry wings or throats for lighter flies.

With a wide size range and consistent quality, this hen saddle remains a trusted material for fly tiers who want realistic motion and classic styling in both freshwater and steelhead fly tying.
