Buying capes/saddles

[denzil3009]

Iv been buying most of my materials from Ebay, but iv ran into problems buying Grizzle cock and other capes on Ebay.

First, finding them is a struggle. And when i did find them for a good price the seller messed me around.

I tried finding them on other sites, but i cant seem to find them.

Can someone post good places to buy capes please ?

Thanks

Lakeland Fly Tying has a great range of capes/saddles, some are quite expensive but some are a good price.

Lakeland Grizzly Rooster Cape - Lakeland Fly-Tying Limited

Rooster Capes - Lakeland Fly-Tying Limited

All of the cree capes seem to be out of stock, but there may be some capes/saddles I have not found, have a look for yourself and see what you think

Troutcatchers is a great website, for all fly fishing tackle or stuff for fly tying,

Fly Tying Capes Saddles

Have look here, I don't know your price range so don't want to make assumptions that you can afford the more expensive capes or saddles. But if you can, that's great!

Im just looking for as cheap as possible, its my first time trying to use hackles for dry flies. So i dont want to buy the most expensive and waste it while learning.

I was looking for the cheapest possible so i could use it for practicing, then after i get better using it, go for the more expensive better quality capes.
