This saddle performs exceptionally well in tying floating dry flies. The dark dun color matches perfectly with my trout patterns. The hackle is dense and holds shape well during casting.

Great quality and consistent with the photo. The size fits my tying needs well. A bit more variation in color than expected, but that’s part of the charm.
