What would be your choices ?

Recommended Posts

I posted this question a few years back and the response was interesting so we’ll give it another go.

If I were to gift to you 5 Whiting silver graded rooster capes what colors would you choose?

I think a better question to start with is "What 5 flies do you wish to tie?", and let that guide the choice as to the colors (needed). The way the question above is worded, makes it seem like advertising (to me).  If you have such capes to gift, that is an entirely different matter! Put me down for a badger. :)

Grizzly, light dun, Coachman brown, medium ginger, black

Fwiw, I can't tell the difference between Whiting's medium ginger and their regular brown....

grizzly, dun, ginger, brown

I have some other colors (white and red and not Whiting Silver's), but these four would be the ones I use the most.

I'm gonna amend mine and not be so practical. After all, this is a gift, right? Asking for grizzly, brown, dun, ginger and black is a little like asking for socks and underwear for Christmas....

First, I'd like a light dun grizzly

Next, green well
