The Whiting capes are an excellent choice for tying dry flies—whether it's the classic Adams or modern Stimulator. They impress with a record number of feathers of various sizes—from extremely small (down to hook size 20 and smaller) to relatively large feathers for bushy dry flies or to enhance your streamers. Thanks to their flexible yet sturdy stems, they are very easy to work with. Additionally, their stiff barbs give your dry flies excellent floating properties. These feathers also feature a nearly uniform barb length, which is particularly advantageous for tying dense and consistent hackle collars.
Aside from dry flies, these capes are also suitable for tying streamers—such as body hackles for Wooly Buggers or to add the finishing touch to larger pike or saltwater streamers. The Whiting Gold Capes are among the highest quality feathers on the market, and you can be sure that every single feather from this saddle can be used for a variety of fly patterns—making tying a joy!
In short, these stunning rooster capes are an absolute dream for tying dry flies. Thanks to their gold classification, they offer unbeatable value for money and unmatched quality, as only selected capes from Whiting receive the Gold classification!
