I'm looking for a source for a small amount of grizzly hackle - I don't tie flys, don't have need or use for a full hackle - plus the cost is extreme. All I really want are a half dozen to dozen individual feathers for some feather inlays. Does anyone know of a source that I can get just a few of these? I checked Siskiyou, and they don't seem to carry grizzly hackle. Thanks in advance! Re: source for grizzly hackle?

I buy "Bugger Packs" for both tying and inlays. They are partial saddle hackles with longish feathers used for palmering Wooly Buggers. Foe inlays, I think these webby feathers work better than the high-quality neck feathers used for dry flies. I picked up a pack of dyed green/black yesterday at my local fly shop for $9.

Rich, I use a lot of the Whiting saddles, in grizzly and other colors for inlays. Check out the Hook & Hackle link to left for 100packs, available in different (hook) sizes also. I'd be happy to mail you a bunch (for free) if you only need a dozen or so. Re: source for grizzly hackle?

Mike - your offer is VERY generous and most appreciated! I would not take them for free however, I'd insist on sending you a few bucks for the material and packaging/shipping. Let me know - thanks!

Mike - I had forgotten to update my email address - the one that was in there is old, so I updated to my new email. Can you please send that message to my new email? Thanks! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
