Whiting Farms Fly Tying Feathers

Genetic dry fly hackle has been in continuous development for over 50 years. The earliest hackle pioneers, most notably the legendary Catskill fly tier Harry Darbee and Minnesota attorney Andy Miner, were the first devoted individuals who successfully raised and genetically selected roosters to have better dry fly hackle. Their stocks were the foundation for almost all genetic hackle lines today.

After 10 years of careful study, experimentation and refinement of the genetic selection and husbandry systems essential for these demanding hackle stocks, the feather products from Whiting Farms have risen to new levels of quality. These are indisputably the finest quality dry fly hackles available worldwide. For more information on hackle grading techniques used visit Hackle Grading.
