Originally, these flies were tied using feathers from 'Spey Cock' roosters native to Scotland's Spey River Valley; however, this stock became scarce in the early 20th century. Heron feathers later became popular substitutes, but due to legal protections, alternative sources were sought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter extensive genetic selection, Whiting developed a \"genetic\" Spey Hackle breed that offers feathers with long, strong barbs, no webbing, resilience against brittleness, and excellent density—ideal for fly tying. This selection includes a pure white variety perfect for dyeing and multiple other colors and patterns to inspire fly tiers. The feathers are quite uniform in smaller to medium sizes, perfect for small to medium streamers, sea trout, and salmon flies. They can be used as front or palmer hackles in fly patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDeveloped through advanced genetic selection for quality and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLong, substantial barbs without webbing for ideal fly profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable in pure white (great for dyeing) and various other colors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUniform small to medium feather sizes suitable for diverse fly sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePerfect for tying Spey and Dee flies, salmon, and sea trout patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended fishing methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fly fishing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget species:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salmon, Sea trout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;max-width:800px\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/z3ytAbu-fDc\" title=\"Product video\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whiting","offers":[{"title":"Grizzly","offer_id":56320242549121,"sku":"62802001","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"White","offer_id":56320242581889,"sku":"62802002","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unique Variant","offer_id":56320242614657,"sku":"62802009","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grizzly dyed Salmon","offer_id":56320242647425,"sku":"62802102","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grizzly dyed Olive","offer_id":56320242680193,"sku":"62802134","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grizzly dyed Shell Pink","offer_id":56320242712961,"sku":"62802140","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grizzly dyed Shrimp Orange","offer_id":56320242745729,"sku":"62802141","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grizzly dyed Pink","offer_id":56320242778497,"sku":"62802153","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grizzly dyed Purple","offer_id":56320242811265,"sku":"62802154","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"White dyed Salmon","offer_id":56320242844033,"sku":"62802202","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White dyed Brown","offer_id":56320242876801,"sku":"62802203","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White dyed Medium Dun","offer_id":56320242909569,"sku":"62802222","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White dyed Fl.
