burnt heron





The ORIGINAL spey feather (other than the extinct Spey Cock). If you have tied with Heron substitutes like Rhea or Blue Eared Pheasant, you will quickly notice how much better the original is. These feathers are processed through a very gentle bleaching process. The feathers are lightened up before they are dyed, this gives us the ability to not only create a brighter colour, it also allows us to take the very fine "fuzz" off of the barbs. Many tyers use these finer plumes as toppings on tubes or very fine collars for shrimp and prawn patterns. The overall length of these plumes is between 4-7 inches from tip to tip.





The overall length is between 5-7 inches.



On the left is the Natural Heron, to the right is our Burnt Heron.



Feather barbs have a very slight profile, perfect for legs and feelers on prawn and shrimp flies too. Below is Burnt Heron on our "Brass Eyed Prawn"
