  I got this to use primary for small dry fly wings. the quality is good and seems to be plenty of usable material.

  These feathers add new color options to my soft hackles. It always seems that if your fly is a little bit different from the others, that fish pay more attention. In any case, they make good looking flies that catch fish.

  Good practical product - 9/22/2012
  By: Andy51 from East Yorkshire

  I've just bought one from the delightful Pickering, UK Orvis shop and was surprised by the reasonable cost and quality of the neck. Whiting hen necks are superb but three times the cost and when you don't need that level of quality and just want a good feather for everyday tying then these fit the purpose perfectly.

  Exactly what i was looking for - 4/7/2012

  For some reason brown hen hackle is hard to find. This was exactly what I was looking for and my local Orvis store (Downingtown, PA) had it shipped directly to my home.

  Ordered these in ginger, dun and several in white so I could dye some to my own version's of dun, or another color I wanted to try just for grin's. They make GREAT dry wing's that hold up very well. Also, I've had very little waste on the neck's I've gotten.

  Very Happy - 6/3/2011
  By: TroutKid

  I'm only a teenager, so my money supply for fly fishing is limited. I wanted to start tying soft hackle wet flies for the brook brout in Virginia, but didn't think I could afford a saddle or body. So when I saw this, I snatched it up. I was expecting it to be crummy, but the flies turned out pretty nice, although I havn't gotten to see how the fish like them yet. These hackles are very easy to use, and make very quick flies. If you're on a budget, the price is hard to beat.

  Good, but flawed - 2/3/2010
  By: HuckFinn from CT

  I bought these in three colors; brown, grey, and olive. They have a great shape and make Matukas that trout literally leap out of the water to catch; like the videos you see of great whites attacking seals. They also spin very well to make soft hackles. I did, however, forget to put the brown neck back in the bag for a week. When I went to put it away the whole thing had started to disintegrate. Feathers would fall off (in small pieces, not whole) in mass quantities. I have left out many other types of necks and saddles without this happening, so I know it's this product and not the act itself. So, don't leave them out and this is a great product to buy! I do recommend it, just don't be careless like me.

  I HAD KNOW IDEA HOW MANY USES A HEN CAPE HAS. I HAVE BOUGHT PACKAGES OF HEN FEATHERS OF VARIOUS TYPES BUT THOSE ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN GETTING THE ENTIRE CAPE.AND LIKE I SAID THE USES FOR ONE IS LIMITLESS I HAVE MADE SOME REALLY NICE MATUKAS WITH THIS CAPE WHICH I HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF DOING BEFORE AND IM SURE I WILL THINKOF A DOZEN MORE USES FOR THEM,AND THE NICE THING IS YOU GET A LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE (MATCHING FEATHERS) VS. GETTING PACKAGES OR STRUNG HEN HACKLE AND YOU DEFINATELY CANT BEAT THE PRICE FOR SUCH A NICE FULL CAPE WITH NICE EVENLY SIZED FEATHERS,100'S IF NOT 1000'S OF USES WITH THESE TYPE OF CAPES, AS I SAID IT IS MY FIRST ONE AND I WILL BE GETTING SEVERAL MORE IN DIFFERENT COLORS, I HAVE NUMEROUS IDEAS FOR FLIES IN THE DIFFERENT COLORS OFFERED AND I AM A DIEHARD WHITING ONLY HACKLE,HOWEVER MY WIFE MISTAKELY BOUGHT ME A MASTER TIERS GRADE CAPE BY KEOUGH AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED SO NOW I AM A WHITING AND KEOUGH HACKLE GUY,YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH EITHER COMPANY AND LUCKY FOR ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ORVIS BRINGS YOU THE BEST OF BOTH COMPANIES IN ONE PLACE FOR ORDERING THE BEST FROM THE BEST.
