1/2 #1 Grade Dry Fly Cape - Custom Cut
1/2 #1 Grade Dry Fly Cape - Custom Cut
Ewing Featherbirds has created a new way to offer half necks of premium dry fly hackle. These necks are split in a way that offers 100 percent of the smaller feathers often sought out by fly tiers. Now you can get only the feathers you need and not have to worry about wasting your money on the larger feathers on the cape that seldom get used by most tiers. These necks are cut in half vertically opposed to horizontally giving you more usable feathers for dry flies.
For 30 years, Doug Ewing has been raising hackle birds for the commercial and personal use of the fly tying industry/community. A specialist in managing feather quality control for fly tying purposes, he has kept his flock pure by only raising white and barred grizzly birds. He offers fly tiers not only natural white and grizzly hackles but bleaches grizzly necks to offer three base colors; very much like bases in paint stores these days. To satisfy every tying need from minutiae to the largest billfish feather patterns, all three base necks are available in 25 dyed colors, providing tiers with a selection of 78 distinct color combinations; solid, barred and variegated. And, these are available in every EWING feather product available. "Premium Hackle for Less Money" - That has been the Ewing motto since 1989.
