Whiting Bird Fur
The Natural Movement for Streamers and Spey Flies
Whiting Bird Fur is a unique natural feather material developed by Whiting Farms as an affordable alternative to traditional Spey hackles. Despite its name, it is not fur but specially selected feathers with long, exceptionally soft fibres that move in the water much like natural hair. It combines the best qualities of marabou, Spey feathers and natural fur into one highly versatile tying material.
The long fibres, fine flexible stems and outstanding mobility make Bird Fur an excellent choice for streamers, Woolly Buggers, pike flies, saltwater patterns, Spey and Dee flies, shrimp patterns, leeches and many other large fly designs. Unlike many synthetic materials, these natural feathers maintain remarkably lifelike movement even in the slightest current.
Whether you're tying large trout streamers, pike flies, salmon Spey patterns or saltwater flies, Whiting Bird Fur creates impressive profiles, natural movement and generous volume without adding unnecessary weight to the fly.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONIf you enjoy the movement of marabou but need longer fibres and a more pronounced profile, Bird Fur is an outstanding choice. It performs especially well in large streamers, Spey flies and pike patterns, where natural movement is often more important than bright colours. |
