kyflytyer 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Hello guys, is there anybody who could advise me any good e-shop with capes by Whiting, Metz or Keough in the Europe? Thanx a lot Here is a source for Whiting and Metz in the UK: http://celticflycraft.co.uk/acatalog/Saddles.html Hope this helps. By the way, I agree that Whiting is the best if you can afford it. Once you use it, anything else will be a let down. Metz is good, though, if you are on a budget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harold Ray 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2009 I love palmering Whiting feathers behind the hook eye. I start by tying down at the front, just behind the hook eye, and wrapping backward as far as I want and then wrapping forward again over the already palmered feather. It makes an unbelievably beautiful, and very thick, neck for the fly. After that, I often trim the bottom fibers so the fly will sit on the surface film. I use Whiting and love it. Amazing what genetics can do! Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
