Through years of careful genetic selection, WHITING FARMS has developed a strain of León roosters producing feathers of remarkable quality, recognized for their exceptional properties in fly tying.
The Pardo WHITING FARMS saddles are particularly well suited for tying wet flies, sedges and mayflies. Their feathers stand out for their suppleness, natural sheen and excellent mobility in the water.
The Pardo saddle, or Pardo cape, is taken from the dorsal part of the rooster, and not from the neck. Each saddle combines wide feathers and narrow feathers, offering a wide choice of feathers for tying numerous fly patterns.
Grade Bronze: a selection offering excellent value for money, ideal for fly tyers wishing to have quality feathers for regular use.
Each neck or saddle is unique. As feathers are a natural product and not mass-produced, their color may vary depending on the batch.
