BRONZE DUN #16 PREMIUM DRY FLY SADDLES6
I have personally hand selected and sized these genetic dry fly saddle hackles. This
package contains
enough feathers to tie 8 dozen
standard dry flies. All the feathers in this package are taken from the highest grade of saddles on the market. I have used these same type and quality feathers to tie flies for my customers and myself for many years. I have been tying flies commercially for over 40 years. Genetic dry fly saddles are grown for fly tiers and this product represents the best I have ever used. These saddles are the best in color, stiffness, barb per inch count and small diameter quills.
IF YOU ARE USING THESE FEATHERS FOR HAIL EXTENTIONS
The feathers marked dry fly saddles are set up for fly tying. They average 8-9’’; the numbers you see after the title match the number hook you use to tie the fly. Hooks [dry fly] range in size 10-28 [even numbers], the bigger the number the smaller the hook. A size 10 is about 3/4 of an inch wide and the 28 are about 1/16 of an inch. We size each feather on a scale, the scale measures the length of the bards as it extends out from the central shaft of the feather, so if the barb length is 3/4'' we know its a size 10.So yes the numbers do tell the width of the feather, those widths are based on hook sizes which are based on the bug you are tying. These feather come in packages that are different from the craft, each of the dry fly feather packages will tie 8 dozen flies, so as you tie smaller and smaller flies the amount of feathers in each package declines as does the length, as you need less and less and less to tie the fly. A size 16 would have about 15 feathers and a size 22 would have about 5 feathers, with the size 22 [the size 20-22 could be much smaller in length]. Further fly tiers do not care if the feathers are broken just as long as they get enough in the pack to tie the 8 dozen.
