Re: [VFB] Whiting Co-op Swap

[Byard Miller]

I would like grizzly myself , So as to get grizzly wooly bugger stuff.

John;
The Whiting saddles I've used are too stiff IMHO for buggers. Better to buy cheap, soft saddles for those. These saddle hackles are better suited for dry flys and you can usually get 5 flys from one hackle feather as Byard noted. I'm sure Byard has some cheap soft hackles for buggers as I bought a bag from LinesEnd once.

John is referring to the wide webby feathers that are on the saddles closest to the skin. They become the pluckers bonus.
