Indian Cock Saddle
The Classic Feather for Dry Flies
Indian Cock Saddle features premium rooster saddle feathers that offer outstanding value and exceptional versatility. The long, narrow feathers with resilient fibres are suitable for tying classic dry flies, streamers, salmon flies and saltwater patterns, making this one of the most practical natural materials for any fly-tying bench.
Compared to a rooster neck (cape), saddle feathers are longer and more uniform in size, allowing fly tyers to produce large numbers of identical flies from a single saddle. They are equally effective for dry fly hackle, palmer hackles, tails, wings and decorative applications. Their length and flexibility also make them a popular choice for streamer wings and larger fly patterns that benefit from natural movement.
Whether you're tying Elk Hair Caddis, Woolly Bugger, classic streamers or larger dry flies, Indian Cock Saddle delivers consistency, versatility and enough quality feathers to tie hundreds of successful fly patterns.
