Wapsi Dry Fly Rooster Necks
Wapsi Dry Fly Rooster Necks are rooster capes for hackles on dry flies. The feathers have shorter barbs that are naturally dry and very stiff, creating a defined collar that holds its shape and gives the fly a clear profile. The product is available in three grades and natural colours, making it easy to select material for a particular pattern and tying style. Each neck provides feathers in several sizes, with barb length and density suited to different hooks.
Construction and use
This material is intended for dry patterns where stiff barbs and precise fibre placement matter. Compare the barb length with the hook size and assess the density when selecting a feather. Natural colours suit classic imitations, while the three grades provide options for different tying requirements.
