Love the streamers Alan. I've been searching for JC for a while that is domestically bred, but the only one I've ever found was an outfit in the UK. The prices are steeper than Ebay, but much better size, especially for bigger streamers, and most importantly, it's legal, but the CITES will cost about 100 per order. I did chat with the owner a few months back, and he did mention that there was someone in the States who distributed his capes, but I wasn't able to find out who.Darren MacEachernhttp://streamers365.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-61732478868041044932012-06-14T05:54:28.265-04:002012-06-14T05:54:28.265-04:00Gary Thompson,

Included was a small amount of Jungle Cock. Beautiful feathers! I like Swamp Yankee's idea of including one in a rod build. That's just class. On another note, Since I only use vintage Orvis reels, I periodically need parts or advice on repairs. Orvis is great for customer service.cofisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288930899340581141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-41816452151668866612012-06-13T12:54:18.599-04:002012-06-13T12:54:18.599-04:00I love the jungle cock.... maybe its because my fa...I love the jungle cock.... maybe its because my father raised me to know that a jc cape land a quality grizzly cape are two things no fly tyer can go without. At his request, a rod builder named Mike Briganti even put a small nail just above the hook-keeper, complimenting the golden bamboo color perfectly. A great feather, I try to incorporate it into as many dry patterns as possible. For a soft hackle on spider patterns, I don't think it can be beat.Swamp Yankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309435890354760066noreply@blogger.com
