Where would i get hackle feathers to tie really small dry flies like 16-18. ive tried about 6 places online but its mostly for bigger flies onless i buy a full cape at £40 which is a lot of money. I bought a couple of packets of feathers but their far to big and it looks stupid.

Where do you live about?

Northern Ireland. but i would buy it online or anything.

Try Spidersplus on the forum (Phil) just had some from him, first class and very good advise.

hope this helps, i know spidersplus will. T.K.....................

How do i get spidersplus? I typed it under search but i couldnt find it. Im not very good with a computer

Here you go http://www.spidersplus.co.uk/

you can buy grade 3 whiting half saddle capes for £17.50. I have one and it has some really small hackles. I also have a half silver whiting sadlle cape, which is slightly better with more choice.
Sorry ive blabbed on a bit, what im getting at is that they are good value for money and should last you many years.
