Whiting Farms, founded in 1989 by Dr. Tom Whiting, aimed to revolutionize the world of fly tying by offering superior quality, value, and variety in feathers. Dr. Whiting’s journey began with acquiring top-notch breeding stock from Hoffman hackle, followed by Hebert/Miner™ hackle. This strategic move laid the foundation for Whiting Farms to become synonymous with excellence in dry fly hackle and a leader in other breeds of hackle.
Today, Whiting Farms stands as the gold standard in dry fly hackle, known for its rich history and top-quality feathers that justify their premium price point, making them highly sought after by fly tyers worldwide.
