FFGene India Hen Capes
FFGene India Hen Capes are hen capes for flies where softness and natural movement matter. The feathers suit wet flies, nymphs and streamers, as well as soft hackles and wings. Hen barbs move readily in water and conform well to patterns designed to work below the surface. A cape provides feathers in varied sizes, useful for different fly components and patterns. Match hackle density to the construction to preserve a soft silhouette and lively movement. Choose the colour according to the pattern and the contrast required.
Construction and use
The dense, compact neck feathers work well in Matukas and other patterns that call for a fuller side or wing. Their soft barbs create mobile hackles for wet flies, nymphs and streamers. Select each feather to suit the size of the fly being tied.
