If you're in the Northeast (or anywhere else for that matter), and do
not want to pay the premium for Whiting Farms hackle, Charlie Collins'
hackle is an excellent substitute. He does not have a websiteand his
contact details a
Collins Hackle Farm
436 Kinner Hill Rd.
Pine City, NY 14871
(607) 734-1765

I am not connected to Collins Hackle Farm in any way. I have merely
seen how many of the Pennsylvanian commercial fly tyers use his necks -
and he gives you a free saddle with each neck bought.

were very good.



I've started liking them quite a bit, as well. All my sulpher's really
deplete a cape in the size 16 region, and these really fill the hole.

I've noticed that Whiting is now selling quarter saddles, which might be
somewhat more cost-effective, if they're sized well.
