Benefits and key strengths
The Devaux CONDOR SUBSTITUTE stands out for its exceptional versatility. Unlike natural feathers, this substitute offers increased resistance to weather and heavy use, making your flies more durable through seasons of fishing. Its texture perfectly mimics the original feather, delivering striking realism — a decisive advantage for fooling wary wild fish. The strip format significantly speeds up the tying process, saving time without sacrificing quality. Thanks to consistent appearance, each tied fly matches the previous one, ideal for producing batches of flies.

Usage tips and recommended patterns
To make the most of the CONDOR SUBSTITUTE, cut fine strips for the bodies of dry flies, emergers or nymphs. Its texture adapts well to both spiral wrapping and flat tying, perfect for segmented bodies. Pair it with thin leaded heads for perfectly weighted nymphs or use a smooth tying thread to enhance the realism of emergers. The material is easy to work with and suits manual wrapping as well as assisted placement with specialized tools. Tip: apply a drop of varnish to seal the body and increase shine.

Expert testimonial
Having fished for over 20 years, I tested the CONDOR SUBSTITUTE from its release. I was amazed by the consistency and vibrancy of the colors! Wild trout in notoriously difficult rivers do not resist thanks to the natural effect of this material. It perfectly replaces condor feathers that are now impossible to find. I use it for all my sedge and nymph fly patterns.
