Ewing Whole Capes

Ewing Whole Capes are complete capes containing genetic dry-fly hackles. They offer feathers with different lengths and proportions, making it easy to select material for a broad range of dry-fly sizes and constructions. The feathers can be used for hackles, tails, wings and other details. A whole cape provides material across different areas, giving the tier a broad size selection for several patterns. Choose each feather according to its usable length and barb width in relation to the hook and fly recipe.

Construction and use

These genetic dry-fly feathers are intended primarily for hackles and other components that work at the surface. Smaller feathers suit smaller constructions, while larger feathers fit larger profiles when their barbs remain proportionate. The cape also supplies material for tails, wings and details on patterns in different sizes. Prepare the feather stem according to the tying method, removing only the barbs required for the chosen application.
