Need Help - Grizzle Cock

[Black-Don]

I never got round to getting a Grizzle cape last year and now need to get one but the usual suspects are/were out of stock before christmas.

Does anyone have any definate leads on a natural grizzle neck cape in stock  that will do flies in the 10-20 range at around £30. I can import from the states if need be.

Don,

I use genetic grizzle hen capes instead. Like this http://www.fawcettsonline.com/products/Keough-Hen-Cape-Grade-1.html or metz.

PM me your address and I'll stick a few in an envelope for you to try.

Thanks for all the help and feathers too  :.

Try here Don, I have always found him to be very helpful.

Steve is sending me a home grown i.e. not genetic grizzle cock for £ 8.50  :shock: , still on the lookout for a nice genetic cape and saddle tho'

If anyone wants to give one away then I'll be happy to take good care of it !

O.K.,

Thanks for all help.

I ordered a homegrome Grizzle cock  from Steve at Cookshill for £8.50 but still waiting delivery. Ordered a Grizzle Indian cock from Eyebrook tackle for £4.75 but got a nat ginger barred instead( think it was my fault  :oops:) so have ordered another Indian grizzle cock cape.  Finally have ordered a grizzle hen cape from farwest but may possible still order a cock cape when I get these items in.

Hopefully this will give me a wide variety of feathers but I'm now thinking hen and cock saddle, olive, w.o.i yellow and possibly orange  :lol:

It's a bit of a bummer that after trying to get my hands on what I'm after for about a year, I have to go outside of the UK.

I just got the Grizzle Cock cape ( Inchlaggan  :roll:  :lol: ) from Steve Cooper at Cookshill this morning and if anyone has a spare tenner available who's looking for a Grizzle Cock cape with a good range of feather sizes, then I'd give him a call and ask for one of the homegrown capes he has. Totally unbeatable at £8.50 + postage.
