Wapsi Ostrich Mini Plumes

Wapsi Ostrich Mini Plumes are small natural ostrich feathers with short fibres. Their compact build creates a defined, fibrous detail without excess material, making them especially useful for small patterns. Use a plume whole or select individual fibres according to the fly component being tied.

Construction and use

The short fibres help maintain a compact profile in nymph gills, small bodies, salmon-fly accents and streamer wings. Tie the material in at the rear of the hook shank or wrap it over a short section to control volume. Natural feathers vary in fibre length and arrangement, so match each plume to the width and proportions of the intended component. The material provides a precise way to add a small, mobile detail to a fly.

• Material: small ostrich plumes.
• Construction: short fibres and a compact profile.
