Many feathers on a mallard, drake and hen, are under utilised in my mind. Here is one possible use for the mallard drake copper colored throat feathers.

Very nice. What would be the type of fish to fish this fly with..

 

I am a trout angler, first and foremost, and most of my patterns reflect this. The Drake is one such.

 

Cheers,
