MFC Mottled Schlappen Feathers

Elevate your fly patterns with premium mottled schlappen featuring soft, flowing fibers and natural speckling that adds instant depth and realism. Hand-selected for quality and consistency, these feathers are ideal for building lifelike movement in streamers, intruders, baitfish profiles, and larger steelhead and salmon patterns.

Each hank offers long, supple barbs with excellent webbing, making them perfect for sweeping collars, full-bodied hackle, throats, and wings. The natural mottled pattern creates a broken silhouette that triggers strikes in clear or off-colored water, while the supple stems wrap easily without bulk. Whether you’re chasing trout, bass, or anadromous species, this versatile material delivers the motion and profile that predators can’t resist.

• Soft, highly webbed schlappen for maximum movement and pulse
• Mottled patterning for realistic contrast and a natural, fishy silhouette
• Great for streamers, intruders, spey and salt patterns, collars, and tails
• Easy-wrapping stems reduce bulk and speed up tying
• Consistent, tie-ready quality from a trusted fly-tying brand

Pro tip: Use as a finishing collar over flash or craft fur to add life and taper, or layer with marabou for an irresistible, breathing action. From big-water swings to stillwater retrieves, these feathers help your flies move, shimmer, and get eaten.
