Hareline Starling Skin

Starling skins are a popular and versatile material for fly tying, particularly favored for tying small wet flies and soft hackles. The feathers have a beautiful, iridescent sheen, ranging from blue to black and gray, which brings a lifelike shimmer to the fly when wet, appealing to the predatory instincts of fish. The feathers are sparse and soft, enabling tremendous movement in the water, mimicking emerging insects effectively. Starling feathers are suitable for tying a wide range of fly patterns and sizes, including: Small wet flies, soft hackles, traditional midge or BWO soft hackles, small Tenkara Kebari, wing cases on tiny nymphs, and cheek feathers on streamers. These starling skins from Hareline are some of the best quality on the market. We highly recommend them!
