All mallard flank is not alike; the one I used on the Caddis split evenly along the stem, Sally’s did not. I should have put the feather in a damp paper towel and microwaved it for 10-15 seconds (since I don’t usually use high grade feathers for these flies, this should be standard operating procedure).
