Whiting Bronze Spey Hackle Cape

Product information "Whiting Bronze Spey Hackle Cape"

The Whiting Bronze Spey Hackle Capes from Whiting are fantastic for all flies that need to have a lot of movement. These hackles, with their extra-long fibers, were originally used mainly for classic Spey salmon flies. However, salmon and especially steelhead anglers in the USA began using Spey hackles more frequently as they wanted to tie flies that exhibited strong movement in the water.

In Europe, Spey hackles are used not only for salmon and sea trout flies but also for many other streamer patterns. They are particularly popular for coastal sea trout flies due to their soft, highly mobile feathers. One of the first well-known Spey hackle sea trout flies was the 'Öland Spey-Shrimp' by Morten Öland. Later, the 'Pattegrisen,' a modified version of the Öland Spey-Shrimp by Claus Eriksen from Denmark, became famous throughout Europe and is now a staple in almost every coastal fly box.

Rarely has there been such a hype around a cape as with the Whiting Spey Hackle Capes. The color Wild Dyed Salmon, in particular, was hard to come by for a long time. It's no surprise since everyone wanted to tie a Pattegrisen but didn't want to compromise on the unique quality of Whiting feathers.
