Best Tying Feathers

FRESHWATER STREAMER CAPES

Produced at Whiting Farms’ two Colorado chicken ranches, these capes come from birds specially bred to provide sturdy, substantial full-wing feathers for streamer flies. This new line includes grizzly, silver badger and cream badger capes, along with a variety of dyed options. Like all Whiting Farms products, each cape includes a variety of feather lengths, making it a snap to tie brilliant-looking size 4 to 10 streamers.
