These fine, stiff, and perfectly coloured feathers make the best material for tails on nymphs and dry flies.
In English "Coq de Leon" translates as the "Leon Rooster". Dating back to 1624, this is the oldest line of birds bred for fly-tying feathers. While there are breeders based in other countries and continents, Spanish farms continue to produce the highest quality of feathers available anywhere.
"Pardo" are feathers with fine speckling.
