Gosh, those are pretty! Those will be very nice to tie with. Congratulations John.

I know this is an old thread, but those look good. I have tied dry flies with Keough hackle and they work well and look good too, but I find them to run a little large according to size of hooks I use. No problem though, I just adapt and use a smaller hackle for what I need. Of course I'm talking about their packs that they have that are like Whitings 100 packs.ForumGhillie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 6:55 pm Today arrived two Keough hen capes i bought on eBay..

Very nice hen capes.
Cheesehead John has moved on from the Keough, and probably hasn't seen them an hour after he posted this thread.Fishnkilts wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 2:57 pmI know this is an old thread, but those look good.

Very nice hen capes.
I have not tried the soft hackle from Keough, so could you tell me how it worked out for you?
