Wapsi Soft Hackle Hen Saddle Patch

The Wapsi Soft Hackle Hen Saddle Patch is a versatile feather patch that belongs on almost any fly tying bench. The soft, webby fibres give flies a natural pulse in the water, making them perfect for soft hackles, wet flies, and nymph collars.

These feathers are easy to work with and offer a wide range of sizes across the patch, so you can tie everything from smaller soft hackle patterns to larger nymphs and streamer collars. The natural movement of hen hackle suggests legs, wings, or emerging insects with very little effort at the vise.

One standout option is the speckled brown patch, which works especially well as a substitute for partridge in many traditional soft hackle patterns.

Whether you’re tying classic soft hackles, adding life to a nymph collar, or building subtle movement into a streamer, this patch gives you a lot of usable feathers in one simple package.
