Question. In general, how many flies should one expect to tie from one long saddle hackle?Preston
Preston...
That depends upon the size range of the feather. As an example...if the feather is a size 16 and is 10 inches long, you should be able to tie 10-12 flies. On the other hand if the feather is sized for a 12...a 10 inch feather will probably only tie 6-8 flies. From what I've seen so far...you should be able to get 300 flies from any one of these swap packs.
