Yup! Finally bit the bullet and purchased a full cape, primarily for classic striper flies. Here's a Popovics Bucktail Deceiver from earlier today

Continuing the theme on striper flies...

September Night flatwing - oiginally designed to match the mullet run we get up North in the fall, but also an excellent herring and alewife imitation for spring.

I used to have some Genie hens and I collected a bag of their feathers before I gave them away

I fished Ascension Bay, Q. Roo, Mexico Jan. 2021. This was the fly everyone said to use. My guides passed over all of my other patterns. (Kinda hurt my feelings! But that shot on a Permit has to be as high percentage as possible.) Heavy eyes were also a big deal for them. So, I hope this will help close the deal on the next trip.
