If a pelt is densely feathered, offers a wide size range and the feathers have long, usable dry fly portions, the pelt will grade out rather high, maybe even a gold or better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whiting Farms, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Grizzly","offer_id":51022950596886,"sku":"93242001","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Brown","offer_id":51022950629654,"sku":"93242003","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":51022950662422,"sku":"93242008","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Dyed Medium Dun","offer_id":51022950695190,"sku":"93242222","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Dyed Dark Dun","offer_id":51212301435158,"sku":"93242223","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3804\/2646\/files\/whiting-rooster-midge-12-saddle-silver-gradewhiting-farms-incthe-blue-quill-angler-8353413.png?v=1770936788"}],"url":"https:\/\/bluequillangler.com\/en-ca\/collections\/hackletype_dryflysaddle\/extrav10.oembed","provider":"The Blue Quill Angler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
