Whiting

Whiting Farms didn’t just refine genetic hackle—they redefined what fly tiers expect from it. Built on decades of selective breeding and obsessive quality control, Whiting feathers set the benchmark for dry fly performance worldwide.

Every Whiting neck and saddle is engineered for consistency: long usable feather lengths, uniform barb density, strong yet supple stems, and unmatched floatation. This precision allows tiers to tie multiple flies from a single feather with exact proportions, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.

Whiting’s genetic lines are tuned for specific applications, from ultra-stiff dry fly hackle to softer feathers for wets and emergers. The result is control—over size, silhouette, and how a fly rides in the film.
