The orange is duck flank feather that I peel off. Little different for the wool addiction!
looks good, you paint that head
Yep.....white with tap coating the top (green mica with a mix of clear coat). Do not like making a habit of tap coating but I get bored every once in a while!!! 3mm eyes are from Lifefly (ebay) in China. Great prices and good shipping.
Ok I haven't started tying yet. :banghead Wanting to but banker says I have to wait. nonono So here is the question. What kind of feathers are those?
I got some eyes from Lifefly-Outdoors as well.
5mm Iridescent / 300 Soft Molded 3D Holographic and
5mm Red / Wholesale 1400 Soft Molded 3D Holographic.
Great price!
Boarbuster....they are mallard flank feathers dyed. You can purchase at Barlows or other fly tying shops. Make good jigs for crappie and gills. Orrrr get you local duck hunters to start keeping the flank feathers!! From my friends this year, I have gallon ziplocks of gadwall, teal, mallard, woody, snow geese. The duck hunters generally will not understand why you need them until you swing back around with a grab bag for them!!!!! Then you will be getting tupperware containers full!!!!!
