Looking for some brown hackle

All about flies Fly Tying

Hi there,

No, I am not going to braid it into my hair, I don’t have enough hair to do that :smiley:

Got to looking on eBay to see if the prices there have gone out to lunch, ran across some Sullivan saddle hackle from Sullivan Farms in New York State. Did a couple searches, didn’t find any info (other than info on grand champion bulls), anyone ever heard of it? Just wondering about the quality.

Thanks,
Dwight

ps> no, I am not afiliated with this, just trying to find some reasonably priced brown hackle for Green Machines as my last saddle is pretty much done.

Never heard of Sullivan hackle; hard to tell what the quality’s like by the pics. Charlie Collins has some real nice capes and he’ll throw the saddle in with the purchase; his saddles are not quality dry fly hackle, they’re okay. I use them to hackle a lot of the foam-bodied flies I tie and they’re great for that application.

Regards,
Scott

You can try these guys http://Jimsflyco.com Although their site is a bit difficult to navigate at times.
