Description

These are full luscious Whiting Farms half cape cock necks, in Bronze Grade. They still offer the same full, long supple quills, incredible barb density and a full range of hackle sizes down to 20’s, but just in half a cape. Whiting Dry Fly Capes are the industry standard for quality and value. And of course, being the sought after speckled badger, we have separate listings for each of the half cape currently in stock so you can see exactly which speckled badger cape you are purchasing.

This product line derives its heritage from the legendary Hoffman grizzly super hackle stock. Most of the pro grade capes and saddles we are seeing of late have been ridiculously full and overloaded with feathers, representing great value and still offering hundreds and hundreds of feathers.
Whiting Farms Half Cape varieties offer a wide array of hook sizes, generally from size #6 right through to size #24. Bronze Grade capes from Whiting have a sweet spot between sizes #12 and #16, be it the half or the whole cape.

At Troutlore, we want you to have the best choice of the best feathers possible to create perfectly floating dry flies. We try to source the best selection of speckled badger, dark barred ginger, cree and grizzly variants available at all times, along with the standard colours that you’ll always need. If you can’t see the colour of a Whiting cape or saddle that you are after, please feel free to get in touch and we will do what we can to get you the feathers you need.
