Flytier 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2009 Rocky, Whiting sells these feathers under two names - as Craft feathers and also as Popper Pack feathers. Same product. The natural feathers are white with black edges. Several dyed colors are available. Here is an image as found on the Whiting Farms web site: (top image) If you scroll back in this thread you can see these feathers used in a number of my patterns, most recently in the Culloden.

FishyboY 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 I have been working hard on this(those who ready my blog have seen the post). I needed to tie 15 woolly buggers for the Project Healing Waters near me. I cranked them out in about 2 days(really good for me). I had lots of fun and hope the participants have fun as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
