Versatile Coq de Leon feather
Coq de Leon saddles provide a broad range of feathers suitable for several fly tying techniques.
Longer feathers can be used as hackle on larger flies and streamers, while the stiffer fibres
are excellent for tails and other components where shape and definition are important.
The characteristic grizzly markings add natural structure and contrast to the fly.
Dyed versions combine these markings with strong colours, making them useful when a pattern
requires a more visible trigger.
Available colours
Available in Grizzly Dyed Yellow,
Grizzly Dyed Red and
Grizzly Dyed Fluorescent Green Chartreuse.
As this is a natural material, markings, density and the exact appearance of individual saddles
may vary slightly.
