I have bought plenty of capes/saddle before and I am not much of a beginner tier...I have been especially lucky in getting free 100s packs. I am just wondering becuase usually with capes I have quite a few feathers I don't use. I will probably go with a saddle but mainly I wanted to know if a 1/2 saddle is good or to just buy the whole thing. The reason I want (roughly) one size bigger is becuase I use long shank dry fly hooks. Also I don't like buying 100s becuase I find they are a bit expensive per fly and I tie a lot of flies.
