Veniard Ostrich Herl – Medium Olive

Veniard Ostrich Herl is supplied as a piece of the plume. Tis is the fullest section of an ostrich plume, with the longest, and bushiest herl.

Ostrich herl is one of our favourite materials for thoraxes on mayfly nymphs. The herl is also great for forming the ventral gills on caddis larvae patterns. It is an essential ingredient in the Fur Fly for those who love fishing wets for trout, and it is also popular in saltwater patterns like GT fly, especially if you’re following recipes from Bob Popovics.

As Veniard Ostrich Herl is a natural product, colour, length and quality vary with every pair.

Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking streamer fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural hairs and furs is the ideal place to start for something different to the synthetic option. Don’t just settle on looking in the Hare & Rabbit category when you’re chasing quality winging and body furs, check out the Specialty Species Category of the Troutlore Flytying Store as well. Plus, we keep a great selection of Calf and Bucktail as well, in a big range of colours to take care of your freshwater and saltwater flytying needs. If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced, and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
