Guess I am missing some vocabulary here, what do you mean by "Roll" Duck Flank?
Oh BTW, looks good, both of them and you know when it hist the water all of it will get straight?
Look at page 2 of this tutorial Skip.

Slab wouldn't appreciate that link on her I believe. So maybe we should remove the links, sorry. I do now understand the term, just never called it that, but I do love the duck flank feathers and have a ton of them, just don't get enough time to tie what I want to.

I don't know anything about all that nor do I care to. I'm here, there and on other sites to gather and share inspiration, information & ideas and for entertainment. I appreciate your tutelage and comments Skip and feel like I can come to you with questions and to "show off" from time to time. I just think it's a shame we can't all get along, and post here, there or anywhere freely without criticism or rebuke.
I agree, but Slab has rules and I wouldn't go into that here.
Haven't used much flank and usually just keep it simple to the materials I have, but those look like hunters to me, Vern. Both are great. I have difficulties with hackle bends on occasion bc i like em placed on sides and noton top, but i try to take time n get'em the way I like. Wanting to give em a go in the future. Any suggestions on suppliers? We don't all have a ton of every material.
As far as the other talk… there's 1 side to every 1 story that can be heard in 1 place. A lot of respect is missing in stories also.
I got most of my Mallard Flank from Crazy Angler. I'm learning more & more about its use. It does have a natural "scaled" look to it.
You can get a lot of different kind of duck flank feathers, gadwall, teal. Wood duck and thei gold flank and mallard. Some come it a good many dyed colors as well. Natural are nice as well. I am pretty sure I missed one kind.
