Grade C $75.00 (mostly splits)

These birds are smaller than a wood duck but almost as beautiful. Their flank feathers are a rich bared brown. Their belly is white like a wood duck. They are a fish eating bird often found along the shoreline. Here in Maine there is a 1 bird per day limit, and most hunters do not bother with them because their flesh is strong flavored.

Would you willingly put your money in an unsound investment?
Of course not. So why would you store your prized flies in low-quality protective holders?
We realized our own valuable flies were vulnerable due to poor quality plastic holder protection.
We found perfect fly holders - designed by collectors for collectors.
These are great to display Streamers, Saltwater flies and Atlantic Salmon flies.
They have no hinges to break off and are clear on both sides.
They will take a fly up to 3 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches deep.
They are only for flat flies.
The inside dementions are .18" by 2.55" by 3.54"
The outside dementions are .36" by 2.69" by 3.65"

Hackles
I now carry only the best streamer hackles that can be found. Whiting American Hackle are breeding some good birds.

Finding uniform quality and color from pelt to pelt is hard in either company.
It doesn't matter if you buy dyed pelts or natural pelts the colors are rarely the same.

Whiting
American Hen Saddle $9.95 each
 for streamer cheeks, collars, throats, beards, nymph legs, etc.

These are often referred to as duck or turkey in many fly tying books.
Turkey has a flat or squared off edge as does duck. If you look at the pictures
of the flies you will see that the feather that they use has a soft rounded edge.
Hen Saddle is the feather that they used, though many tiers don't realize it.
Remember 20 years ago when Calf tails were referred to as Kip or Impala?
The Joe's Smelt feather is sold as Pintail. Northern Pintail ducks do not have
the right feather. Ask any duck hunter, or do what I did, buy a Pintail skin.
The fly tying industry likes to keep us in the dark about some things.

I have had a lot of request for the round cheek feathers that are commonly
used on the Carrie Stevens streamer flies.
I often carry these in 5 colors.
Red is the most commonly used cheek color.
Silver Doctor Blue
 Kingfisher Blue
Yellow for Black Ghost tails and beards, Gray Ghost beards, etc.
Plus white for collars on Barnes Specials and to custom
dye to what your needs are.
