At Feather Craft, we take pride in offering only the finest fly tying materials, and Whiting Saddles stand at the top of that list. Renowned for their exceptional consistency, density, and quality, Whiting Saddles are the gold standard for fly tyers who demand top-tier hackle for dry flies. Whether you’re crafting intricate patterns for trout, panfish, or saltwater species, these saddles provide unmatched versatility and performance.

Whiting Saddles are available in both half and whole saddle formats. A whole saddle offers an impressive range of feather sizestypically covering sizes 8 through 22 or finerand yields hundreds, sometimes thousands, of usable feathers. For the serious tyer, a whole saddle is a long-lasting investment that ensures youre well-stocked for countless patterns. Meanwhile, a half saddle delivers the same high-quality feathers, just in a more manageable quantity and at a more accessible price point. Its the perfect option for fly tyers who want premium hackle without the commitment of a full saddle.

To help meet the needs of all tiers, we carry Silver Grade and Bronze Grade Whiting Saddles. The Silver Grade saddles are prized for their extraordinary feather count and lengthoften yielding 8 to 12 flies per feather. These are ideal for tyers who value precision, uniformity, and economy of use. Bronze Grade saddles still boast exceptional quality, but may have slightly shorter feathers or minor natural imperfections. They remain an excellent choice for hobbyists and professionals alike, offering a great balance of value and performance.

Whether you’re new to fly tying or a seasoned expert, we believe these saddles will elevate your craft and inspire your creativity.
