creekwalker 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2012 Great looking Fly! Where do the church window feathers come from on the bird do you know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanielP 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2012 Last time I got some church window feathers they came from the region around the neck/breast. Nice fly, would like to see one with a more traditional muddler front end. Think with a bit of hackle and a smaller deer hair head that would be a stunning fly on the ressies over here. Sinking line and slow draw should slay. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeky 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 The feathers shown here are from the back (cape) of the bird, particularly lower, closer to the rump just ahead of the irridescent feathers on the rump. Be aware, the feathers in the fly are dyed yellow. They don't come off the bird with the bright yellow. Creekwalker - you said you have SD birds. Are you from South Dakota? Where at? Next weekend is deer and turkey out west, but I need to get out after some pheasants yet. Not sure how many more years the dog will be able to make it out and back again.
