WHITING Coq De Leon Hen CAPE
Product Description
Dating back to 1624, Coq de Leon, or the “rooster of Leon” is the oldest line of birds bred for their feathers. The beautiful long speckled fibers are stiff, almost having a glassy look.
There are two distict lines. “Pardo” or the brown line is a larger bird and the feathers are marked with fine speckling. The other is refered to in the literature as “indio”, or indian line. The feathers are grey, or steel color, and lack the speckling.
Coq de Leon hen capes have wide soft webbed feathers with stiffer tips. These feathers have deep mottled barbs, they will make fantastic legs for your nymphs or soft gamey looking hackles for your wet flies.
