Default Black cape required.

Can anyone reccommend a good quality black cape for tying some flies in size 10 and 12.

I'll want to knock up some bibio's, hoppers and such like. I've tried some of the cheap indian capes but think a better quality cape would improve my creations.

thanks in advance

Hi fj,

I just had 3 capes from Gerry Artifly. I ordered them for the same sort of thing as you. Nice looking capes (not had chance to use them yet). Good price, I ordered 3 in different colours. Got another on order.

They are clearly not genetic, but I wanted cock capes that were a bit on the henny side.

Drop him a line, for the money I think they are fine.

Cheers

Andy
