I have two capes of JC. I would be willing to sell one. You could pick which ever one that you want. I live by Fred`s Tackle shop in Vedder Crossing. The firm price is $100.00 if it is picked up. Add shipping costs if needed.

$75.00 is a great price but it just depends on the grade of the cape. There is more than one grade.

Definitely, I just bought the C grade, as the flies are fished, and some of the nails are split, nothing a bit of clear nail polish can't fix, if I was trying flies for display I would have opted for the Grade A

no need to go for the highest grade of cape for tying purposes.

the tips of yellow dyed guinea feathers are a good sub. Stick on eyes or brass barbells with painted eyes have taken over the 'eyes on the fly' approach. Jungle cock is used to give a fly a traditional look.

I also have 2 capes, barely use them. I could unload the smaller for $50 and I would have to look again but I don't think its ever been used and is a A or B grade cape.

if your interested text me and I can send you pictures -- 778-688-3332
