Thanks, and thank you for the correction.  I only have a digital version of Trout.  When I searched for 'Golden Quail', the only return I get is  the plate listing and Bergman's reference to it on page 197, so I assumed the recipe wasn't listed, careless of me not to go through the descriptions in the back. Original post edited for accuracy.

Not looking to sell them and it would be only a dozen or so and if someone was really interested I’d send them along. The problem is the hackle !

As you know these days it’s tough to find even good dry fly tail hackle let alone a sz 8 glassy stiff dun feather.

I meant me. As I search through my hackle to see if I have anything suitable
