Hans Weilenmann 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2013 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. Drake Hook: Kamasan B175 #12 Thread: Benecchi 12/0, black Hackle: Mallard drake copper throat Body hackle: Whiting Farms Coq de Leon, medium pardo Rib: Wire, silver fine Body: Embroidery yarn, chestnut Tail: Mallard drake copper throat barbs Cheers, Hans W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
