Hareline Premo Turkey Flats

Hareline Premo Turkey Flats consists of loose, flat turkey feathers intended primarily for fly wings. Their broad, flat form makes it easy to cut strips, fold sections and secure individual wing elements. The feathers can produce compact wings with a simple outline or more developed layered arrangements combined with other materials. The flat surface gives the tier precise control over the width, profile and pattern of each section.

Construction and use

Cut the material before tying or shape it directly on the hook, depending on the pattern. Select sections with an even pattern and a width suited to the intended silhouette. Check the fibre direction before securing each piece so the wing stays aligned with the fly. Several sections can be layered while keeping the tie-in point as slim as the design allows.
