Whiting Coq de Leon Mayfly Tailing Pack
Premium Coq de Leon Feathers for Realistic Mayfly, Dry Fly and Nymph Tails
Coq de Leon is one of the most iconic natural materials in modern fly tying. Originating from the León region of Spain, these feathers are renowned for their exceptional strength, distinctive mottled appearance and unique glass-like sheen.
For decades, Coq de Leon fibres have been the preferred choice for tails on dry flies, nymphs and emergers. Their naturally stiff fibres help maintain the correct silhouette of the fly while providing outstanding durability and improved flotation on dry fly patterns. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
What is the Whiting Coq de Leon Mayfly Tailing Pack?
The Whiting Coq de Leon Mayfly Tailing Pack is a carefully selected collection of premium Coq de Leon feathers dyed in the most popular natural mayfly colours. Each pack is specifically designed for tying realistic tails on mayfly imitations, dry flies and delicate nymphs. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Unlike the standard Coq de Leon Tailing Pack, the Mayfly Tailing Pack contains a smaller quantity of feathers selected and dyed specifically to match the natural colour palette of mayflies.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONIf you primarily tie mayfly imitations and dry flies, this is one of the finest natural tailing materials available. The carefully selected colours make it easy to match the natural shades of different mayfly species, while the stiff fibres provide excellent support, durability and a highly realistic silhouette.
