Fly Tying Whiting Capes & Saddles

Capes and saddles are integral materials in fly tying for fly fishing. A cape is the neck plumage of a rooster, providing feathers used for tying smaller dry flies due to their fine and flexible nature. Saddles come from the back of the rooster and offer longer, more consistent feathers ideal for tying larger dry flies and streamers. Both capes and saddles are prized for their color, texture, and durability, helping anglers create lifelike imitations of insects and other prey to attract fish.
