Default whiting capes
Been trying to tie a few klinkhammers today i was useing a metz grade 3 but was having trouble doing the hackle down the post,so i bit the bullet and shelled out on a packet of whiting 100s nearly broke my heart must be the scotsman in me lol.What a difference it made, no problems with the hackle down the post.Now to my questions does anybody know were i can buy said capes,do they do half capes,my tyings will be on hook sizes 10 12 14 16 and i am assuming a grade 3 will suffice?Thank You.

I would imagine that lakeland are due in a large delivery of capes shortly as they sell loads at the bffi in early November, the same probably applies for some of the other stockists listed on the www.bffi.co.uk site

Couple of bronze capes here http://www.lathkill.com/shop/index.php?categoryID=112 not a great seletion but good value for full capes at £27 when they are £49 from sportfish! Bought a couple myself and very happy

You can buy packets of Whiting Dry Fly Hackle Packs in the various colours< ages since I have bought one as i am still using them think they cost me about £5 a packet. If you cant track them down I bought mine from foxens in Nth wales
http://www.foxons.co.uk they do mail order.

They just got a shipment of the saddles which are much better value if you mostly tie #12-16s
