Originally, feathers from the now rare Spey Cock roosters of the Spey River Valley in Scotland were ideal for these flies. However, as the Spey Cock population diminished and legal protections limited the use of heron species feathers traditionally employed in such flies, the need arose for high-quality substitutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhiting has developed a \"genetic\" Spey Hackle through dedicated selection over several years, combining traits such as long, substantial barbs without webbing, robust non-brittle feathers, and excellent density, ensuring great value to fly tiers. This genetic stock comes in an array of natural and dyed colors to inspire creativity, along with a range of feather sizes suitable for various fly sizes. These feathers excel particularly as front or palmer hackles on streamers and salmon flies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIdeal for tying Spey and Dee flies needing swept-back feather profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGenetically selected feathers with long barbs, no webbing, and high durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable in various colors including natural and dyed options.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use as front or palmer hackle on streamers and salmon flies.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSmall to medium feather sizes support a wide range of fly sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFishing methods: Fly fishing, including classic salmon streamer patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTarget species: Salmon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;max-width:800px\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/z3ytAbu-fDc\" title=\"Product video\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whiting","offers":[{"title":"Grizzly","offer_id":56328069939585,"sku":"62801001","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Brown","offer_id":56328069972353,"sku":"62801003","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light Ginger","offer_id":56328070005121,"sku":"62801004","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Unique Variant","offer_id":56328070037889,"sku":"62801009","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"White dyed Olive","offer_id":56328070070657,"sku":"62801234","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4741\/2867\/files\/dealerweb-cms-49b3683f-2e75-4880-9fbb-6491bfc68ae6.jpg?v=1790604942","url":"https:\/\/nordicanglers.eu\/products\/fly-fish-europe-whiting-wpg-62801-d2a5dbb7","provider":"Nordic Anglers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
