Boy I no we will see some good dyed colors!

Finally finished drying up the last batch of feathers 10 minutes ago!! As for more dyed colors I need to order Flourescent Pink and red from Veniards. Here's what I ended up with:

3 Gallon Bags of Wood Duck Flank

2 Gallon Bags of Gadwall Flank

1 Gallon Bag of Hen Gadwall Flank

2 Quart Bags of Lemon Barred Flank feathers

1 Quart Bag of Barred Wood Duck

1 Quart Bag of the little wood duck and gadwall flank - they're good for some of the flies I tie.

On the barred wood duck....what is the patterns you are normally tying? Final product looks really nice

**Fatman** · 02-05-2015, 08:30 PM

The Hornberg - but use the black/white barred wood duck feather instead of mallard flank. Haven't fly fished in a couple years as it really pulls on my back so I usually trade them off. Ones that aren't totally complete you can tie up anything including jigs.
