    Default Badger Hackling

    I really like the markings on this badger neck. Anyone else like using badger?

    I use badger hackle for a good number of patterns. Prefer speckled over grizzly.

    Above pic is a silver badger. Heard of several different types of badger: silver, golden, light and dark champagne, but not a "Grizzly". Where do you get it? Can you post a pic?

    Yes I use golden badger quite a bit, Whiting and Collins. Ray golden badger has been used for many years. The Dette's tied there Green Drake and a dry fly called the Conover. I'm sure there are many more but those two are what I use it for.

    Speckled golden badger is in my opinion the most versatile hackle one can buy. I use it in just about every pattern I tie. Love the dark base, black tips and the speckles.
