messing around with some WoodDuck feathers.
i like the first one man
i like the first 1 looks just like a crawdad
I like the duck feathers a lot. I have an over load of Mallard flank, but also Teal, Wood Ducks and some Pintail and Gadwall. Have a good many colors in some, but I like them natural a lot. Of course the gold Wood Duck flanks as probably the most sought after for fly tiers and they even die the Mallard flank to match the Wood Duck color.
Good looking jigs,

I love the white barred... Looks like baby crappie to me.

Also, sometimes you can split the "scrap" from what you got there for matching halves on a 1/64 oz head.
Pa I do love them with the small red collar.
Let me tell you a funny. I had forgot about some Mallard Flank I had for some reason, I guess because I have too much stuff. Anyway I was still buying packs (big bags) just a couple weeks ago and my wife helping me find something in here pulled out this box and said what is this? Oh crud, it's a pound of Mallard Flank, LOL!Quote:

Skip a pound of feathers must be an awful lot... Like a gabage bag full
It's a lot for sure, something like 6-7 gallon zip locks full.
I have lots that I bought over the last few years. Now just wish I could take the guy up that is offering free duck feathers, but it's not legal. Only legal ones get sold by fly/jig material shops because they don't come from wild birds and these are raised for just the tying industry.
I have another friend that said next hunting season he would bring me a bunch of all kind of ducks and geese which I wanted very bad, but I guess I can't use them without taking a huge risk which it totally not worth it. He even had some Canada Geese, but I can use them at all I don't think.
Hope yours a bought from places you can point to and they can show certificates to prove they didn't come from wild birds.
