At Kindale Fly Fishing, we are proud to be the official UK and Ireland distributors for Ewing genetic feathers. Known worldwide for their exceptional quality, consistency, and value for money, Ewing has become one of the most respected names in modern fly tying.
Genetic hackles are specially bred to produce feathers with the exact qualities fly tyers look for, including stiffness, fibre length, flexibility, and colour consistency. This gives tyers cleaner wraps, better floatation on dry flies, and far more usable feathers per cape or saddle compared to traditional birds. Whether you are tying delicate dry flies, modern stillwater patterns, streamers, or competition flies, genetic feathers can make a huge difference in both performance and ease of tying.
The Ewing range includes genetic dry fly capes, saddles, hen saddles, tailing packs, and unique colour variants developed specifically for modern fly patterns. One of the biggest reasons tyers choose Ewing is the incredible value for money. The genetic quality rivals some of the biggest names in the industry while remaining accessible to everyday fly tyers, from beginners right through to professional tiers.
As the UK and Ireland distributors, we work closely with Ewing to bring in a wide selection of colours and grades, including custom dyed Irish colours designed to suit local fisheries and modern fly trends. If you need help selecting the right genetic cape, saddle, or feather type for your tying, get in contact and we will happily point you in the right direction.
