Headline: The bugger hackle the pros tie with.
For years the staff at Whiting Farms tied their own Woolly Buggers with these feathers before they were ever offered to the public. Owner Thomas Whiting handed a batch to renowned fly tier and author Dick Talleur, who called them "the best bugger feathers around" and pushed Whiting to make them available to every tier. The Bugger Pack was born, and the New and Improved version now contains roughly double the feathers of the original.
What sets these apart is the range. Each feather covers a span of hook sizes from #4 to #12, so one feather works across multiple flies. You identify where on the feather your hook size lives and start wrapping from there. The result is long, tapered hackle with super-fine barbs, tapered webbing, and a supple quill that holds its shape in the water and gives a Bugger the buggy, breathing profile that moves fish.
Stop by the shop at 432 E Main St in Montrose to see the color range in person, or pick one from the dropdown.
Tying Instructions
Tie the bugger feather on the hook by the butt end at the hook eye after tying on a tail of marabou or chickabou. Then attach a wire rib and body chenille at the hook bend. Wrap the body, then wind the hackle from the front of the hook to the rear. Tie the feather off with three turns of the wire rib near the hook bend, wrap the rib forward, and finish off the fly.
