Guest Report post Posted October 6, 2004 Any of the online stores will have them including Green Caddis ( the link at the top of this page) I hunt and collect most of my natural stuff myself but I do still buy the dyed stuff I need. Any hunting buddies? Have fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted October 8, 2004 Edvan, what feathers exactly oare you looking for? If it is pheasant rump, and turkey tail, I may have some for you. john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edvan22 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 Thank you all for your reply. I just caught up after purchasing my $5 turkey tail feather. The shop has an ok selection but I was also looking for blue dun hackle and what they had was terrible but I need BWOs! Can I get away with turkey tail fibers for phesant in nymphs and such or are they too different. (Yes, I am being cheap!) Thank you all again!

CREE CADDIS 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2004 Ed, yes you can use turkey tail for a pheasant sub. it is a lot darker but also a lot fuzzier. this is a nymph i have had great success with from trout to steelhead. it's easy to tie and effective. btw the turkey is easier for beginners to handle cause it's longer and stronger than pheasant. give it a try.
