Ewing Dry Fly Cock Full Saddle – Variant

The Ewing Dry Fly Cock Full Saddle – Variant is a perfect example of nature’s happy accidents. These variant saddles come from roosters that have “gotten in with the wrong hens,” resulting in beautiful and unpredictable mixes of colour and pattern across the feathers.

Each full saddle is completely unique — no two are ever the same. You’ll find stunning combinations of barred, speckled, and shaded hackles that add real character to your dry flies. The feathers retain all the hallmarks of Ewing quality: long, supple stems; consistent barb density; and just the right stiffness for superb flotation on the water.

These variant hackles are ideal for tiers who love to experiment and create one-of-a-kind patterns. Whether you’re tying traditional dries, emergers, or something more creative, the Ewing Variant Full Saddle provides natural beauty and individuality in every feather — a little touch of chaos that makes your flies truly stand out.

They are unique variants, and we obviously only have one of each. First come, first served. Please don’t add more than one to your basket, as any extras will be refunded. Thanks!
