Skip,

Yes, Spade feathers will be found on both the bottom of a cape, even on our JV roosters and at the top of our saddles.

Interesting note:
Schlopen are left on the saddles here at the Ranch, are found below the saddle hackle but above the tail feathers. Just lift the saddle hackle and Presto! the Schlopen, desired for tying many flies where dry fly quality is not desired or needed.

Any questions, just e-mail me direct at the Ranch and I will respond.

Denny
