Gallos de Leon fly tying feathers are more commonly known as 'Coq de Leon' outwith Spain.

What makes these true 'Gallos de Leon' feathers so special?

It has to be their exceptionally long stiff barbs that glisten and quiver with life. The sheen and shimmer of these feathers add a very special quality to your flies at the vice and a magical semi-translucency in the water. Just move them about under a light and you'll see what I mean!

Have a look at the blog page for a bit more info following a recent trip to Spain.

Great stuff .... but you can't get capes of the genuine feathers from Leon, only plucked feathers.
