Justin Johnston –
This saddle performs exceptionally well in tying floating dry flies. The dark olive color matches my fly patterns perfectly. It’s a bit heavier than others, but the density of the hackle gives excellent floatation. I’ve used it for several seasons and it still holds up well.
Irene King –
Highly recommended for serious dry fly tyers. The stiffness of the hackle makes a noticeable difference in how the fly floats. The color is true to the image and the size fits perfectly with my tying setup.
Robert Johnston –
Great quality and consistent with the photos. The saddle holds its shape well during tying. A bit on the dense side, but that’s what I expected from a pro-grade product.
