WHITING Coq de Leon Hen Cape – hen cape for fly tying
Coq de Leon Hen Cape from Whiting Farms is a premium hen cape designed for fly tying. It features soft, flexible, and evenly speckled feathers that are perfect for soft hackle collars, throats, and wings on small streamers and wet flies. The characteristic speckled pattern adds a natural look and lifelike movement to the fly in the water.
Each cape comes from genetically bred Whiting Coq de Leon hens, known for their unique fiber structure – soft, yet firm enough to maintain shape and control the profile of the feather. Most color variants are white-dyed, ensuring clean, bright, and consistent shades across the range.
Recommended use: soft hackle collars, throats, nymph legs, wet flies, and small streamers.
