These outstanding Coq de Leon rooster capes have a record-breaking amount of feathers in a large variety of sizes – from relatively small to really big feathers. Their extremely fine fibres are absolutely great for imitating tails and feelers when tying dry flies and nymphs. Although these fibres are significantly softer than those of an "ordinary" rooster cape, they provide your dry flies with outstanding floating properties. Due to their soft and yet durable stems, these feathers can also be used as hackles. This allows you to tie very effective dry flies, wet flies and sea trout flies. Without a doubt, a shrimp pattern tied with Coq de Leon looks absolutely amazing in the water. Last but not least, the natural shine of these feathers will provide your flies with a very tempting appearance – no matter what you use them for.
In short: These wonderful rooster capes of the legendary Coq de Leon will make every passionate fly tyer smile. They are very versatile and a true enrichment for every fly tying desk!
