FFGene Woodcock Plumage

FFGene Woodcock Plumage is loose woodcock plumage with very soft fibres and a distinctive flame-brown, speckled pattern. Its natural appearance suits flies where a subtle, lively detail matters. The material is particularly useful for nymph collars and wet-fly hackles, especially soft-hackle patterns. The soft fibres create a mobile element that works in the water and produces a delicate profile.

Construction and use

The feathers can also be used for other details when their shape suits the pattern. Woodcock & Orange is a classic example of an application for this material. Select the feather according to its pattern and size.
