By combining the genetics of the famous Coq de León roosters with the expertise of WHITING FARMS, this selection offers feathers of exceptional quality, sought after by fly tiers for their unique characteristics and consistency.
Through rigorous genetic selection work, WHITING FARMS has developed superb Coq de León roosters, renowned for producing feathers of exceptional quality.
These feathers are particularly well suited for tying wet flies, sedges and mayflies. They stand out for their mobility, natural sheen and realism, making for very lifelike imitations.
The Pardo saddle, also called Pardo cape, does not come from the neck of the rooster but from the dorsal part of the animal. This area provides feathers highly sought after for their tying qualities.
Each WHITING FARMS Pardo saddle contains both pelles and lancettes, offering a wide choice of feathers for tying numerous fly patterns.
Grade Gold: the highest level of quality, with exceptional feather density, consistency and finish.
Each neck or saddle is unique. As feathers are a natural product and not mass-produced, their color may vary depending on the shipment.
