Yeah the guys take good care of me with feathers and I have a couple more who will be sending me some also. This is just the first bag he's sent me I've got more coming. I put them in a mix of Dawn and borax and hot water and have them in a tall plastic coffee can with lid - agitate the heck out of them, drain the water refill and shake em again. Then they get a nice luke warm rinse, a soft squeeze to get most of the water out and then the pillow case's and in the dryer.

Cleaned materials also make it much nicer tying.

I know only because the wife wanted me to check and make sure the colors were right the Veniard fly dye - got 3 colors in but 3 are back ordered. Still need to get some tied with the feathers I dyed last year.

Stump - ALWAYS like the Lemon barred flank feathers!!! Use a lot of them for the Catskill style dry flies.
