Want to tie some Perdigons
What is a good substitute if any?
Thanks in advance

You buy tailing packs so you don’t have to buy the entire cape. The capes are nice though, if/when you can find them. There are saddles as well. There are even hen capes, which work well for large soft hackles.Can somebody tell me what Coq de Leon is? Might be the only thing I don’t have

Yes, and similarly stiff. I can't discount it, a lot of people use it, it's durable, looks great, and sinks fast. However, for me, on a sinking fly, I prefer a softer, more movement prone feather, partridge or grouse, hen, barred woodduck (lemon yellow), ect, or hare. I just find a fly with a softer tail more productive.Thanks
