Whiting capes are prized for their versatility, offering a broader hook size range than saddles while still maintaining the exceptional feather quality Whiting is known for. Capes typically have a wider hook size range and slightly shorter feathers than saddles, making them an excellent choice for tyers wanting maximum flexibility across different fly sizes.
The Bronze Cape is ideal for tyers wanting one cape capable of producing a huge variety of dry fly patterns and hook sizes using true professional-grade feathers.
Medium Ginger remains one of the classic dry fly colours, perfectly suited to natural mayfly, caddis, and terrestrial imitations. It’s a staple for patterns like Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators, Royal Wulffs, and a wide range of traditional dry flies where warm, natural tones are important.
Whiting Farms was founded in 1989 by Dr. Tom Whiting. His vision was to produce the most premium selection of fly tying feathers possible - and he has done just that.
Whiting grades are based primarily on feather quantity and fly size range, not overall feather quality. Higher grades generally contain more feathers and are capable of tying smaller flies more efficiently.
