Hen Mallard Belly Feathers are a practical, natural choice for fly tying and craft work. These belly feathers run light-tan to light brown, often mottled, with feather fibers that peel back to reveal eye-like patterns. They are not black and white barred like drake mallard belly feathers, offering a subtler palette for realistic streamers and bodies.

In addition to streamers, these feathers excel for eye work and accents in a variety of patterns. The fibers can be peeled back to form an eye for streamers or used as an eye-pad to paste on a Decal-Eye. They also make a beautiful flat-wing for a flat-wing caddis, or can be used for sculpin fins. The mottled fibers are suitable for tails on nymph patterns, expanding your tying options.

  • Color range: light-tan to light brown with mottling
  • Peel-back fibers create eye accents for streamers and decals
  • Versatile for flat-wing caddis and sculpin fins
  • Mottled fibers work well as tails on nymph patterns
  • Available in a big bag

A big bag for $1.50.
