It might look like a mess, but this oddly colored Whiting saddle was selected for its extremely fine hackle, suitable for the smallest of flies down to hook sizes in the 20's, 22's and 24's. I rarely tie in these sizes, and having a selection of badger, cree and uniformly colored feathers on one skin is actually perfect for me.

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
