Whiting American Hackle Hen Saddle

The Whiting American Hen Saddle features soft, webby feathers with sturdy barbs and a strong but flexible quill — ideal for tying traditional wet flies, soft-hackle collars, legs, and tails. The dense structure gives your flies a buggy, solid silhouette when submerged, and the webbing helps the fibers move naturally in water. These feathers also work well when trimmed or burnt to form upright wings on dry flies. For salmon or steelhead patterns, the saddle provides dependable hackle for skirts, tails, and flowing legs that maintain texture and movement in current. With consistent feather quality, generous usable length, and a wide range of natural and dyed colors, this hen saddle is a versatile staple for both freshwater and migratory fly tiers.
