The came regular old first class mail. And yes, they were just cut in half. I'm gonna work the desk tonight and take my vise. Hopefully it will slow and I can tie a few flies.

Yep I got the capes today and I already plucked a beautiful Brown Saddle, tomorrow I have a Black and a Badger/yellow flat wing to pluck and then back on Mon. Somehow I have got to squeeze a little fishing in wink.gif

I also got four saddles to pluck today. I called Byard, he said he sent out the brahma's to the two guys that only bought brahmas. These saddles are unbelievable, they are great. I am plucking two dry fly saddles, one flatwing (very cool) and a midge saddle.

 

Everyone will be very pleased.

Ralf you won't be disappointed in the Brahma's. The colors are awesome - olive, brown, black and gray. I tied a few last night. The stems/quills are delicate if you want to palmer them you have to be careful. If you clip the V and put on as legs under a shell back they were great.

 

Be careful when stripping them. Like I said, the stems/quills are weak. I ruined a couple.

Thanks Ashley. I just grabbed an midge hackle since I have some size 18 hooks that need some fur and feathers on them.

 

You'll love the colors and speckling on the Brahma's.

I got my hackle in the mail today, both the dry stuff and the brahmas. I am really impressed with the brahmas, they are nicer than I expected.

 

Anyway all of you that ordered should be getting yours soon too. Byard said there were still 7 packages he was waiting to come back from being plucked. I would think if you do not have your feathers within the next week and a half that maybe yours were in that group. Be patient, the feathers are definitely worth the wait.

Shoe, what do you mean unclaimed packages? I did not mean that he had more that nobody had bought. I simply meant that he was waiting for 7 final packages to come back to him so that he could redistribute them to everyone who bought them.

Shoe-sometimes not enough people sign up for a group so after the plucking and distributing some packs are left.
