Saddle feathers are the feathers in front of the tail. Both hens and roosters have saddles, but in a rooster the feathers are longer, softer, and pointier. Many fly tiers use saddle feathers to tie make lures with. This style of feather identified as Furnace has naturally rusty color tones. This pretty saddle patch is a gorgeous auburn red with hints of greens and browns. It is approximately 5" across and 12" long from tip to base. The individual feathers will of course range in length. But should be between 1.5" - 10" Long.
