niveker 0 Report post Posted February 17 The Quack Hook: #14 Thread: dark brown, 8/0 Wing: kip tail (original was impala) Tail: natural brown bucktail, not sure what original tailing was used. Body: peacock, red buttonhole silk, peacock Hackle: dark brown This is what most people refer to as a Royal Wulff, created essentially at the same time as the Quack. Mrs. Dette refused to call it a Royal Wulff, I assume because she felt Q. L. Quackenbush should be given credit for its creation. Of course, I could be wrong.
