Filstar Hen Cape
The Soft Feather for Classic Wet Flies
Filstar Hen Cape is a premium-quality hen cape offering a wide selection of feathers in various sizes. Thanks to their soft, flexible fibres, these feathers are one of the most versatile natural materials for tying wet flies, nymphs, streamers and classic soft hackle patterns.
Unlike rooster hackle, hen feathers are significantly softer and more mobile. Once submerged, the fibres pulse naturally with the current, creating a lifelike silhouette that makes them especially effective for emerging insects and subsurface fly patterns.
The cape includes feathers ranging from small to large sizes, allowing fly tyers to match everything from tiny nymphs to larger wet flies. Whether you're tying traditional patterns or modern soft hackles, Filstar Hen Cape provides an excellent selection of usable feathers in a single cape.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATIONIf you're building your collection of natural fly-tying materials, a hen cape is one of the essentials every fly tyer should own.
