Chickabou/Marabou Patch

Chickabou/Marabou Patch If you tie streamers

You already know marabou is the closest thing to magic we have at the bench. Nothing else moves like it at dead-slow retrieves. Nothing else gives you that breathing, pulsing, alive-in-the-water quality that fish can’t walk away from. The Ewing Chickabou Marabou Body Patch takes everything that makes marabou great and delivers it in a format that’s actually easy to work with — dense, consistently fibered patches that give you predictable results fly after fly.

With 39 color options across solid and grizzly variants — including Black, White, Olive, Dark Olive, Golden Olive, Claret, Coachman Brown, Ginger, Kingfisher Blue, Royal Blue, Silver Doctor Blue, Orange, Red, Bright Pink, Bright Purple, Dark Purple, Lavender, Green Chartreuse, Yellow Chartreuse, and more — this is the deepest Ewing Chickabou selection you’ll find anywhere. Grizzly variants add a barred contrast that triggers fish in a way solid colors sometimes can’t, especially in clearer water or when matching baitfish with lateral-line detail.

These patches shine as Woolly Bugger tails and bodies, steelhead and salmon collars, soft-hackle wet fly legs, baitfish underbodies, and saltwater pattern wing material. The fiber length and density are dialed in to work across hook sizes from #8 all the way up to 3/0 streamers. At $22.88 a patch, stocking multiple colors is how serious tyers build a bench worth sitting at.

Perfect for: Woolly Buggers, streamer tails and wings, steelhead collars, saltwater baitfish patterns, spey fly hackle, nymph legs, pike and bass flies.
