Very nice hen capes.
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.

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

Cheesehead John has moved on from the Keough, and probably hasn't seen them an hour after he posted this thread.
