Description
Coq de Leon is sourced from birds bred in a very specific region of Leon in northern Spain. These birds have been linked to fly tying since 1624 and are arguably one of the oldest fly tying feathers around. Their fine distinctive markings are almost unique on their feathers; they have a very shiny feather adding an extra sparkle when used as either tail wisps or as a component in the wing.
The most common use for these particular feathers is as tailing fibres or complete tails for trout flies. They can additionally be used for Nymphs and can also be used for hackles and wings.
Common flies that use the Coq De Leon is the Grey & Red Spider, Kossie Dun and the Ginger Snap fly.
Coq De Leon feathers are offered in packets of 5 feathers.
