Who Are Ewing Feather Birds?
Ewing Feather Birds is a renowned American breeder of genetic fly tying feathers, specializing in premium dry fly hackle and saddle feathers. Founded by Doug Ewing, the company has spent decades developing high-quality genetic hackle birds with superior feather characteristics—long, supple fibres, consistent barb density, and vibrant natural and dyed colours.
Ewing’s lines of genetic roosters and hens are bred specifically for fly tiers seeking dependable feathers for tying everything from traditional dry flies to streamers and salmon flies. Their cape and saddle hackles are known for their versatility, ideal for tying flies across multiple hook sizes.
Trusted by professionals and hobbyists alike, Ewing Feather Birds continues to be a top choice in the world of fly tying materials.
Is Ewing Feather Hackle Good Value for Money?
Yes, Ewing feather hackle offers excellent value for money. It's a popular choice among fly tyers who want quality genetic hackle without the high price tag of premium brands like Whiting.
Ewing capes and saddles provide a wide range of usable feather sizes, making them ideal for tying everything from size 10 to size 20 dry flies. The feathers have good barb density and natural floatability, and the saddles often contain long hackles that can tie multiple flies per feather.
While Ewing hackle may be slightly softer than the very stiffest hackles on the market, it’s still high quality and consistent—perfect for both hobbyists and experienced tyers. Best of all, Ewing is typically 20–40% more affordable than top-end alternatives, making it a smart, cost-effective choice for most fly tyers.
