If you have ever tied with a Heron substitutes like Rhea or Blue Eared Pheasant, you will quickly notice how much better the original is. We are very happy to have found not only one, but two different species of heron feathers. Our heron that we have been offering to tyers over the past few years has easily been our best selling plume. We know that our new Gray Heron will be a hit too. It has the same great look as our regular heron but it is even bigger, perfect for tubes and larger hooks. Many of the Extra Large Grey Heron feathers measure over 10 inches in total length!
