Mini Ostrich Plumes are designed for collar work on Gary LaFontaine's Emergent Sparkle Pupa, sized for pattern sizes 16 and smaller. They also suit any small nymph or caddis larva pattern.
These mini plumes deliver a tight, natural collar that preserves proportional balance on delicate emergers and larva imitations. The compact feather offers authentic texture and subtle detail without bulk, making precise tying on size 16 and smaller patterns reliable.
