Whiting Farms Dry Fly Show Capes
For those who have met me at a show, these are the same high quality Whiting capes and now you can get them on-line.
At the shows, the best way to get customers to see the incredible quality and colors is for them to pick them up and bend the feathers. Like the customer pictured picking through the bins.
No more digging through the bins in search of the hard-to-find color hiding on the bottom. Unpackaged, they are the same high quality you;\'ve come toexpect from Whiting!
Here's what's new...
