Whiting Coq de Leon Tailing Pack
Coq de Leon is an extremely popular material for crafting tail fibers on delicate dry flies and nymphs. It is significantly softer than traditional fibers from rooster hackle and much finer than, for example, pheasant tail. Nevertheless, it significantly contributes to the buoyancy of a dry fly. The major advantage over synthetic tail fibers lies again in the lightweight and flexibility of the natural product. Furthermore, all Coq de Leon feathers possess a gentle sheen and natural color gradients. It's no wonder that this - originally from Spain - natural product has been the material of choice for tying the finest patterns, whether dry or wet, for many decades.
With the Whiting Coq de Leon Tailing Pack, Whiting offers an extensive color palette with all the natural tones you need for tying typical mayfly patterns. Even classic nymphs and perdigons are gladly tied by us with a tail made of Coq de Leon, and every CDC dry fly looks even more natural with a few of these fibers. A material that should not be missing from any fly-tying kit!
