I've only ever bought cheap capes in the past as I've never really been into tying dry flies. Probably due to the crap capes. You all know the problem, rubbish barbs, too long, not stiff enough etc etc.
Anyway if I buy one expensive cape to begin with, I'm thinking grizzle as a general colour which can do many.
Any recommendations on which one to buy or are most of the higher end genetic capes much and such the same? If there's good cheaper alternatives I'm all ears.
Maybe I should buy a half in order to get two colours?
Won't be tying anything too small, 14s and 16s.
