Ocellated turkey body feathers offer a stunning mix of soft, mottled fibers with naturally iridescent highlights—perfect for adding depth, movement, and subtle shimmer to a wide ra nge of flies. Their soft, webby structure makes them ideal for collars, wings, and throats on steelhead and salmon flies, as well as for shoulders and accent feathers on articulated streamers and classic patterns. These feathers feature the Ocellated turkey’s signature markings, giving flies a beautifully natural, organic look in the water. The fibers collapse and pulse with the current, making them especially effective in patterns that rely on breathing motion, such as marabou-style streamers, hybrid Intruder variants, and traditional wet flies. With a texture similar to a cross between spey hackle and soft hen body feathers, they provide versatility for both modern and classic tying styles. Great for adding contrast, silhouette, and lifelike movement to everything from trout wets to full-dress steelhead flies. Show more
