I have a few different Indian and Chinese capes but to be honest, I find the feathers too wide and where there are fine ones; too short! I know I might struggle to find what I want but you never know. <br />I am spoilt by the one or two of the genetic capes/saddles I have purchased. Having said that I have also a couple of genetics that are not so good! This will be my third year at the show. I think I am now in a position to know exactly what I want feather size wise but will now be looking closely for the pattern as well.<br />Thank you<br />CommoThe Lion Tamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316844051225219561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725820531987570568.post-48016328019319447832010-09-28T11:08:21.157+01:002010-09-28T11:08:21.157+01:00Make sure you get a true badger cape.

Likewise it may be easy to find an Indian or Chinese badger cape that is correctly marked but it is very hard to find these with good quality hackles of the right sizes for our dry flies.<br /><br />Here's wishing you Good Hunting!Regular Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412350204961563932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725820531987570568.post-41777022018081608452010-09-27T22:01:29.066+01:002010-09-27T22:01:29.066+01:00The great Double Badger!
