Description

Whiting Freshwater Streamer Cape varieties are perfect feathers for tying up streamers. The rooster feathers are larger, which makes them great for streamers in the size #2-12. Whether you are wrapping the feathers around a bugger, or using them to enhance your tails on streamers, these rooster capes are meant for streamers!

The feathers differ between streamer hen capes and rooster capes. Rooster streamer capes produce long, more slender feathers. These are perfect for wrapping hackle or using for tails on streamers. Hen capes, on the other hand, produce shorter feathers that are wider than the feathers from a rooster. Hen capes have feathers that are great for wings on dry flies, collars for nymphs and streamers, while also providing great feathers for streamers.

This line is unique in that these birds have been selected for wide, webby, sturdy feathers with tapered tips. The stems are strong and flexable and any brittleness has been bred out. So, you can use them to wrap the hackle around the shank with ease. Plus, you can use them as lateral lines with the finer feathers and streamer tails with the larger feathers.

So if you are tying and fishing streamers, the large wide feathers on these American Freshwater Streamer capes are some of the best on the market.
