Whiting capes are prized for their versatility, offering a broader hook size range than saddles while still maintaining the exceptional feather quality Whiting is known for. Capes typically have a wider hook size range and slightly shorter feathers than saddles, making them an excellent choice for tyers wanting maximum flexibility across different fly sizes.

The Bronze Cape is ideal for tyers wanting one cape capable of producing a huge variety of dry fly patterns and hook sizes using true professional-grade feathers.

Grizzly dyed Coachman Brown is one of the classic attractor-style colours in trout tying, combining the contrast of grizzly with rich brown tones that work beautifully in traditional and high-vis dry fly patterns. It’s a staple for flies like Royal Wulffs, Humpies, Stimulators, and countless parachute and attractor-style dries.

Whiting Farms was founded in 1989 by Dr. Tom Whiting. His vision was to produce the most premium selection of fly tying feathers possible - and he has done just that.

Whiting grades are based primarily on feather quantity and fly size range, not overall feather quality. Higher grades generally contain more feathers and are capable of tying smaller flies more efficiently.
