Default Help needed on capes
I'm getting into tying more and more and I'm looking for a golden olive grizzle cape I think lol. Is the grizzle cape dyed golden olive got traces of black through it? Could anyone advise me on where to buy 1 and what price I should be paying?

Be careful with "euro-hackle" capes/saddles as they are for hook sizes of #10 upwards usually !

The whiting cape on eBay would be more suitable for larger wets and salmon flies, you would be better looking for a better grade cape, this will give you a larger range of feathers allowing you to the a grater range / size of flies
