niveker 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2021 I started a small reorganization of tying materials last night, as I've got a boatload of duck feathers that I've picked up along the trail, and I was trying to get them into some semblance of order when I came upon a few of these lovely little feathers. I had to put one to good use: Hook, #14, 2xl Thread: Kimono 100 #353 (Wasabi) Rib: Thread relaxed, touch dubbed with mole, and then tightened. Thorax: Mole Hackle: Not sure, mallard back feather?
