Goose Biot Feathers 6" & up, Strung, Natural White
Stripped Goose Biot Feathers are a staple material used almost exclusively in fly tying to create realistic, durable components on fishing flies. Biots are the short, stiff, tapered fibers found along the leading edge of a bird's primary flight feather. "Stripped" means this specific edge has been cut away from the main quill stem.
Because goose biots are relatively short, stiff, and naturally flared, they perfectly mimic the rigid, split appendages of aquatic insects. They are the definitive material for tying the split tails, antennae, and "feelers" on classic stonefly nymphs and the iconic Prince Nymph.
When wrapped tightly around a hook shank, goose biots form beautiful, finely segmented insect abdomens. Depending on which direction the biot is wrapped, it can either lie completely flat to form a smooth body or create a distinct, ridged edge (a rib) that traps tiny air bubbles, mimicking a real emerging insect. Due to their shorter length compared to turkey biots, goose biots are usually reserved for wrapping bodies on smaller nymphs, midges, emergers, and dry flies.
