Cape - Neck Rooster Super Select AAA Olive


 Rooster cape feathers are an essential material for fly tying, especially for dry flies that imitate insects floating on the water's surface. The quality and characteristics of rooster cape feathers make them highly valued in the fly-tying community.


 Here is a detailed overview:


 Key characteristics of rooster cape feathers: Fine and uniform barbs. Rooster cape feathers are prized for their fine, stiff barbs, which create a realistic profile for flies. Their uniformity helps maintain a consistent appearance and buoyancy.


 The feathers naturally taper from base to tip, allowing the layers to create delicate wings and legs on flies.


 Wide range of sizes: A single cape (the set of neck feathers) provides feathers suitable for attaching to a variety of fly sizes, from tiny midge patterns to larger flies.


 Durability: High-quality cape feathers are durable and retain their shape even after repeated use.
