Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Cape
Legendary Natural Colours at an Outstanding Value
Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Cape is the entry point into the legendary Hebert-Miner genetic line from Whiting Farms—a series renowned for its beautiful natural feather colours and favoured by generations of traditional dry fly tyers. It combines the same premium genetic bloodline with the affordable Pro Grade, making it an excellent choice for both developing and experienced fly tyers.
Unlike the standard Whiting Dry Fly series, the Hebert-Miner line is celebrated for its authentic shades of Dun, Brown, Ginger, Badger and Cream, making it the preferred choice for realistic mayflies, caddisflies and classic Catskill dry fly patterns.
What is the Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Cape?
Whiting Hebert Pro Grade Cape is a genetically bred rooster neck from the renowned Hebert-Miner line. Although it carries the Pro Grade designation, the individual feather quality remains identical to the higher Olympic grades—supple quills, dense barbs and minimal webbing. The primary difference compared to Bronze, Silver or Gold grades is the total feather quantity, feather yield and hook-size range rather than the quality of each individual feather.
The cape provides an excellent selection of hackles, with most feathers ideally suited for dry flies tied on hooks approximately #10–16. This makes it perfect for the hook sizes most commonly used in trout fishing.
If you appreciate the natural beauty of the Hebert-Miner line but don't require the feather volume of the higher grades, the Pro Grade Cape offers one of the best value-for-money options in the Whiting Farms range.
