Ever since Mikael pioneered the use of these highly mobile feathers in salmon flies back in the late 80s, we've been struck by the way these hackles move and enhance the performance of the fly. Hackling with ostrich infuses flies with such liveliness that they practically look like they will swim off on their own. Ostrich can be utilized in various ways; these small feathers are also perfect for the “Butterfly” design, where a feather is tied in flat over the body. We've meticulously dyed them in colors that complement our different patterns. -
Our Ringneck Pheasant Rump feathers serve as excellent front hackles for larger flies and superb “spey hackles” for smaller tubes, doubles, or singles. They are frequently paired with our ostrich hackles to help steer those ultra-soft fibers. These feathers are highly durable and can withstand many great catches. Available in all our best colors, similar to our peacock eye feathers, you have the option of bleached feathers (B&D) in vibrant colors or naturally speckled feathers dyed with a tint of color. Each pack contains approximately 30 quality feathers, ranging in size from small to large. -
The Samurai, with its long, slim, drop-formed design, requires hair with precise attributes: a soft swimming tail, a narrow profile, and minimal tangling, even at high speeds through the water. This specially selected genetic goat hair embodies these qualities, making it the finest samurai hair we've ever encountered, both in tying and fishing. Dyed in colors that complement our expanding family of Samurai fly patterns, it perfectly suits our needs. The length of this hair varies from 15–20+ cm.

Sourcing for our 'Pattern of the Month' packs, we discovered these exceptional Peacock Eye Feathers. Dyed in our signature colours, they boast a natural fluorescence that adds a brilliant shine to your flies. Whether tied in as a roof over the wing, mixed into the wing itself, or spun for bodies, these feathers offer extra versatility and allure. We also present bleached and dyed variants, slightly more delicate but equally integral to many of our patterns, and sure to inspire new innovations at the tying table. -
It boasts a slightly curly texture at the base, while its straight, tapering tips create a slim, highly durable profile. We package it in pairs, ensuring you get more material than ever before. And not only that, but it's also of much higher quality. This is the perfect "Sunray" material, featuring beautifully long and extremely durable hair that's perfect for flies much longer than the original 13.5 cm ones.

This medium-long, exceptionally shiny, and durable hair has been a staple for decades. It's particularly well-suited for sparsely dressed medium and small flies, zonkers, or especially for shrimp legs and tentacles. We've opted to dye vibrant colours from pure white skins and marbled hues from those skins with black hair in between, which we call “Sapphire”. Each pack contains a generous, double-cut piece sourced from the back, ensuring that every pack includes both the softer belly hair and the longer back hairs. We believe this is an underestimated winging material that produces a translucent fly with a delightful shine. -
It is designed to take the whole fly tying kit, but it has shown to be just superb for everything from leader material and shooting heads to extra socks and fishing maps. The system is made in a durable clear plastic with good reliable zips. All sizes consists of 5 pockets. Using the card holder you mark your system with your name and content. SOS comes in three sizes, Large 40x30 cm, Medium 30x20 cm & Small 22x17 cm.

In our search for the best materials possible we found a fantastic source for small, selected ostrich body feathers – the best we have seen. They are perfect for hackling big and medium flies and ideal for all kinds of Butterfly style flies. Most are perfect the way they are, and some will be after a bit of steam. We doubt there are any hackles that will swim the way good ostrich hackles do.
