    This is the second one of these capes purchased from Nigel. It’s the usual high quality from Whiting,, beautifully dyed with perfect soft feathers, great for head hackles or palmering. A stunning colour which is perfectly suited to Irish Lough patterns.

    I wouldn’t have thought of calling this copper olive but having now looked at it closely, I can see the reasoning. There is definitely an olive in there, leaning slightly toward golden but then the light copper takes over.but not in a severe manner. Overall it is a beautiful shade with the same soft Whiting hackles, I shall enjoy using it.

    An interesting colour which will be put to good use, probably mixed with a darker shade as its very bright on its own. Quality of cape very impressive.

  • Whiting Exclusive WET Fly Hen Cape in Golden Olive review by Duncan, on 16/06/2020

    Great value and prompt service (as always). This cape will tie right down to 20s, and up to standard reservoir style flies. The dye is nice and even, the skin is dry and supple and the colour is very subtle indeed. I bought this as a sub for Buff Cochin colour, and its bang on the money. And will probably last me forever - excellent!

    Excellent quality as usual however the colour is so close to Cinnamon in the same range that there is almost no difference. A bit disappointed, as I was hoping for a another colour to use rather than a fractionally darker shade of Cinnamon.

    My review of this burnt orange hen cape mirrors that of my review of the Golden olive cape. The quality, density and variety of top quality hackles is tremendous. This, in my humble opinion after tying for 40 years is perfection at a reasonable price. The colour is exquisite.

    Nice cape with good range of hackle sizes. A few black hackles among the desired burnt orange, but generally very good.

    It would be easy to just delete the request for feedback. It would also be easy to give five stars because it came on time. I believe that the trouble Whiting and Nigel go to so that we can buy, I think the best capes and saddles produced deserves an honest comment. After 40 years tying I know that a fly can be tied with virtually all capes, even the worst available. Why make the task harder by using thick stemmed hackles that clog up the hook shank and sparse and overly long webbing when quality is available for the asking? There are very important aspects to a good cape and saddle. I believe one to be the stem diameter of the hackle itself, the size variety on the cape, the consistency of web length and the colour as advertised over the whole cape or saddle. This golden olive cape satisfies all aspects of a cape able to provide fly after fly of top quality at, let’s face it a reasonable price. I buy all my capes from Lakeland because I know what to expect when I open the package. No, I don’t work for Whiting or Nigel, I just believe that credit should be given where credit is due.

    This is the first time I purchased a Hen Cape from Whiting. Excellent quality and the colors are beautiful. Also shipping to Hawaii from Lakeland was quick. I would definitely buy more skins from Nigel in the near future.

    A stunning Whiting Exclusive Cape dyed the perfect Golden Olive from Nigel. This is a fantastic value for money cape with 100s of usable feathers. A perfect cape for nymphs and Lough style patterns. The feathers are very soft and wrap onto the hook with ease. Top quality as usual from both Whiting and Lakeland Fly Tying. I would highly recommend this colour for any angler considering fishing the big Irish Loughs.

    The quality is stunning and for once a proper Golden Olive. Mixed with Copper Olive it produces a very attractive variant.

    This item was out of stock for some time but Lakeland’s email notification worked well and my cape was soon on its way. Beautiful hackles in a wide range of sizes as always. Dying process very thorough and fits the golden olive description perfectly.

    A really beautiful golden olive and of a cape size and quality that gives a huge range of options. Brilliant for the tyer that produces flies for trout, seatrout and salmon. Plus Nige is no slouch in getting the order completed and out the door to you. Many thanks
