Collection: Doc's Rooster and Hen Necks

Doc's Rooster Capes : An ancestor of modern hackle lines, this classic Catskill-style dry-fly hackle brings together the hallmark qualities revered by traditional tyers. Each feather shows a natural, glassy shine and impeccably fine barbs that stand clean and even, giving your dries the crisp silhouette and buoyancy the old masters insisted on. The stem is slim, supple, and easy to wrap, allowing for smooth, elegant turns without bulk—perfect for producing those whisper-light Catskill proportions.

As timeless as a split cane rod, this is a true vintage genetic line. This hackle delivers exceptional performance without the premium-price markup often found in modern capes. For tyers who value both heritage and value for the dollar, it’s a hard feather to beat—authentic, durable, and beautifully suited for classic dry-fly work.
