Default Ewing Hackle


I've a couple of questions to ask. Any opinions?

How do Ewing capes compare to Keough or Whiting capes?
I have a Whiting grizzly that is great and a Keough tyers
grade dun that I'm not impressed with (value wise....
even though the Whiting cape was twice as expensive it was the
better buy).

I'm looking to tie blue wing olives (mainly) and want a cape to replace
the dun that I have.
I saw a dyed grizzly blue dun by a company that I've never heard of
(and can't remember the name) that looked pretty sharp, but was 60
bucks. I wasn't in the mood to pay that much and the shop owner
wouldn't split the neck.

What are your choices when it comes to tying BWOs? I live in the
northeast and usually fish small streams.
Has anyone used Ewing's Dry Fly Mini Paks? I thought that might
be a good way to sample different colors. Or is it being a penny wise
and a pound foolish?

Thanks in advance to anyone offering their experience.
