Wapsi Strung Schlappen

Wapsi Strung Schlappen provides long, very soft and strongly webby schlappen feathers joined at the base. Their broad, flexible fibres build a full profile and create pronounced movement in the water. The material suits flies that call for volume, length and mobile fibres. The gathered format makes it easy to select an appropriate feather at the vise.

Construction and use

Schlappen is useful for Spey flies, salmon flies and saltwater streamers. Use it for wings, tails, throats and large collars. Align the soft fibres before tying and secure the feather stem in controlled stages with moderate thread pressure. Selecting by width and length helps produce the intended silhouette for each fly component.
