Welcome to Feathergirl

Kia ora and welcome to Feathergirl where we are all about feathers, fishing, hunting and sustainability.

Feather Store

We offer locally harvested feathers from feral bird species. We currently have over 100 domestic feather products. We also have a growing range of imported feathers that we just can't get locally.

We have loose feathers, pelts, strung, banded, quill, peacock tail, pheasant tail, and turkey tail feathers to meet all of your weaving, artistic and craft needs. We have been offering feathers for sale since 2002 and if there is something you need, we will do our best to get it for you.

Peacock, turkey, pheasant, duck, guinea fowl, rooster (coque) and chicken loose feathers.
Strung feathers are very popular for kakahu and korowai.
Banded feathers are also known as feather fringe or feather trim.

Fly Store

We have an extensive range of trout flies including jigging, lures/streamers, buggers, dry flies,  wee wets and emergers, and nymphs.

Dry Fly fishing is the closest we will ever come to perfection. I love spending my summer and autumn days floating down a river and looking for trout rising. There is nothing like targeting a rising trout with a dry fly in the world of trout fishing.
Nymphing is the easiest and most reliable way to catch a trout in rivers, especially during winter.
We have a mix of trout flies for every situation. Design your own 50 or 100 trout fly pack. They are cheaper to buy in packs!

Guided Trout Fishing by Canoe

I paddle you down the Rangitaiki, Whakatane or the Waimana river in a Canadian canoe fishing all the way! I have 20+ years fishing experience on our local rivers and 45+ years fly fishing and professional guiding around the world (and yes, I'm only just into my 50s and grew up with a rod in my hand!).

I love fishing and I know what it feels like to be excited about fishing in a new place. I know the anticipation and the desire to give it all you've got in a day. I know that feeling and that is why you are going to have the best day of fishing of your life with me.
