Cree is a three-color barred hackle: black, brown and white on the same feather. Wound by itself it gives you the mixed brown-and-grizzly look of an Adams, and it’s one of the hardest Whiting colors to get.

This is a Pro Grade cape. A cape gives you the widest spread of sizes on one skin, from bigger dries down to small flies.

Sizes: 820

One of a kind: the skin in the photo is the exact one you’ll receive. Once it sells, it’s gone.

Whiting grades skins by how many flies they’ll tie, not by feather quality. Pro Grade is the entry grade, followed by Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
