Whiting Coq de Leon Hen Cape unique variant
Product information "Whiting Coq de Leon Hen Cape unique variant"
Coq de Leon is an extremely popular material for the production of tail threads for filigree dry flies and nymphs. It is significantly softer than conventional fibres made from cock's hackle and much finer than pheasant butt, for example. Nevertheless, it contributes significantly to the buoyancy of a dry fly. The great advantage over synthetic tail fibres lies in the lightness and flexibility of the natural product. In addition, all Coq de Leon feathers have a soft sheen and natural colour gradients. It is not without reason that this natural product - originally from Spain - has been the material of choice for tying the finest patterns, whether dry or wet, for many decades.
The Unique Variant Hen Cape is one of the most popular Coq de Leon capes, as its naturally pied colours are suitable for a variety of different flies. In addition to the fine tails for mayflies or other nymphs, such as stoneflies, but also perdigons, the fine feathers are also suitable for tying various wings and tails for dry flies. The long feathers are also often used for streamers and even for various sea trout flies such as shrimps. The fine fibres of the Coq de Leon feather play seductively in the water and significantly enhance some patterns. As usual from Whiting, the feathers are of fantastic quality and the quills of the feathers are very soft, yet robust, so tying with the feathers is simply fun.
