upnorthtier 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 root river hackle used to be howard hackle. I have a few saddles from back when. really nice stuff . I also have a few saddles from skilto, shorter feathers on them but still nice.hackle seems to be on the bigger size. like size 12 and bigger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScienceGuy141 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2021 Roughly how long are the feathers on the skilto saddles? I've been looking to buy some feathers for streamers and bass/pike flies. I'm hoping to be able to get webby feathers for palmering wooly buggers/streamers and some smaller feathers for wings/sides/lateral lines on streamers. Is it possible to find a decent amount of both feather types on a single cape? The options seem endless from the different suppliers, deceiver/bugger packs, rooster capes, coq de leon, etc. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
