I am not sure why other than letting my mind go farther than I have time to do, I have bought a lot of fly tying hackle, from dry fly type high end stuff to caps of hen hackle. Some of this is just gorgeous looking material. Here are a couple I have shown before and these are both whole Rooster skins of high quality. These two came from Conranch when Denny Conrad still owned it.
