Christian,

The only retailer I know of that imports the genuine Whiting Farm Midge saddles is Lakeland - but was not aware that Whiting sell them in 1/4 size - just full and half saddles.

I do have some Whiting Red Label (Hoffman gene pool) half saddles in Grizzle that will tie down to a 22 if this interests you.

If you do want the true Midge saddles, I think that your best bet is to knock out some emails to the European distributors:

Whiting

Kind regards

With kind regards,

As others have said Lakeland have them from time to time - not at the moment looking at their website.

Not in Europe but I'd happily recommend Jims Fly Co in the US - great bloke to deal with and very good service.
