Product detailed description
80% of the feathers on the midge saddle will tie flies size 18 to 24! Whiting dry fly saddles are graded based on the approximate number of flies each pelt will tie. The grade does not, as is sometimes thought, denote hook sizes of the hackle. The following steps are carried out to determine the quantity of flies each pelt with provide: 1. The approximate number of usable dry fly tying feathers is counted for both sides of the pelt. (Example: a 95 count on the left side and a 100 count on the right side total 195 usable tying feathers). 2. The average hackle length is then measured. (Example in drawing shows pelt average of 8 inches). 3. The tying size of the feathers are determined. Most saddles have two predominant sizes (i.e. #12 and #14, #14 and #16 etc), with some hackle on either side of the predominant size. 4. The total number of flies per pelt i calculated. (An 8-inch feather that is size 14* will hackle four flies; 195 usable feathers multiplied by four flies equals a minimum of 780 flies. * It is important to note as hackle decreases in size, a given length will tie more flies). 5. The saddle pelts are then placed in their appropriate grade based on the minimum number of dry flies each pelt will tie: Bronze: A minimum of 500 flies Silver: A minimum of 800 flies Gold: A minimum of 1100 flies Platinum: A minimum of 1500 fliesBe the first who will post an article to this item!
