Brahma and Indian hen capes: do you use them?

Post by **DNicolson** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 8:56 am

I quite like the Brahma hen hackles, particularly for larger flies such as sea-trout/steel-head patterns.
Greenwell/Furnace are usefull but the Indian hen can be very poor, if you have to use hen get some Whiting or Conranch necks.

Go with the Conranch.....beautiful hen skins, and Denny is a fair and ecquitabe man, and not into greed in any way shape or form.........and yes of course.....as in DUH!!!!! the Brhama is teriffic stuff. Use it, you'll love it. But do NOT over pay for it...........then "your" part of the problem.

I found a stash of Brahma hen capes and saddles and put them on my website.
I'll give you folks first crack at them if you are interested.

Those Brahma hen skins looke pretty good Jim, and so does the price.
The saddles have a lot of good hackles for seatrout/steelhead flies.
I have had quite a good collection for about seven or eight years now, some of those shown, and I really like them.
Here is a source of Polish Brahma Rooster skins, I might give them a try myself,
