Our Select Large Marabou Plumes are 3”-7” long. The top section of the feather is used to allow 3-4 turns around hooks and even larger tubes. The bottom half of the feather with the thicker stem is discarded. Dyed here in Smithers, BC for a range of brilliant colours.
Often small, blood quill marabou is too small for large fly designs or tube flies. Our Large Marabou Plumes are big enough for those types of applications.
We have been doing all our commercial ties with Large Marabou Plumes and have come to truly appreciate how easy and quick it is to use, while giving a beautiful result.
For added liveliness in the water, try tying in a bead and nutria collar as support for the soft marabou material. You will be surprised at how much additional movement the fly gets with this technique. There is a video on how to do this here!
Dyed here in Smithers, BC we look for very specific colour aspects that have proven successful based on our experience.
Our lemon/lime is specifically dyed to create a feather that goes from lemon yellow at the tip to a bright lime green at the base. When the feather is tied in from the tip and hackled this leads to a bright chartreuse that really lights up in the water. Chinook salmon love it.
Our orange is a standard orange, not a fluo orange. It's a nice GP/pumpkin type of orange. A great colour for our spring steelhead and peat coloured coastal streams.
Black is Jet Black.
Our standard pink is an intense or hot shade of pink, so that it shows up really well in glacial water in the spring time. A great alround pink colour for steelhead.
Baby pink; a light version of our standard pink. Light bubblegum pink. Great for clear water spring conditions.
Skeena Purple: A purple that leans more towards the red spectrum. Great for coloured water conditions.
Red: standard fire engine red.
Purple: This is our proprietary “Skeena Purple”, with a hint of red in it, so it shows up real well in murky water.
Salmon: A brilliant salmon orange/pink.
Chartreuse: A standard, brilliant chartreuse; greener than our “lime/lemon” colour.
Kingfisher Blue: A brilliant, deep, medium blue. A bit warmer than our Bulkley Blue.
White: pure white
