CLEARWATER HACKLE
[New Name for a well-known product]

Dennis Conrad started it all more than half century ago when he was working toward a merit badge in scouting. Later in life he inherited a flock of chickens that had belonged to a friend that had been raising them for their hackle. The blood line of that flock had been developed for over 40 years and Denny continued that line for the next several years. Operating under the name of Conranch Hackle, Denny and his daughter Liz sold premium hackle to the fly fishing community. Careful breeding and selection is what made Conranch Hackle special, and their hackles were always in high demand by those fly tyers that demanded only the best.

Lars Benson

In 2012 Denny and Liz decided that it was time to spend more time fishing and less time feeding chickens and selling hackle. They found a buy in the Lars Benson family. Operating under the name of Clearwater Hackle they intend to continue the tradition of offering the finest hackles available for the fly tying community.

Clearwater Hackleis a family-run business located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. We specialize in feathers for the fly tying community, with a special emphasis on dry fly hackle. Our flock comes from the famous Conranch Hackle line and is believed to be the oldest pure strain of Darbee-selected chickens in the world.
