Attention Duck Hunters! Need a favor.

[barbarossa]

I'd like to ask a favor of you duck hunters:

I need some wood duck flank feathers for fly tying.

Also green wing teal drake flank feathers.


If you're gonna throw them away, stuff them in a bag and send me a PM. I'm in BR and I'll drive a reasonable distance to pick them up. Can trade some deer meat, fish, or finished flies.

I'll keep you in mind. Haven't even seen any Green Wings yet, just BWT's.

The amount of color variation and patterns on wood ducks is amazing

Thanks, Hitman.

Here's a very simple fly made with only two ingredients, a bit of synthetic ice dubbing for flash, and a wood duck flank feather:







It's deadly on all kinds of fish. I just got back from a trip to Northern Sweden where this fly worked so well on arctic grayling from day one that I never switched for the rest of the trip. Works just as well on bluegill or bass.

Get me a bag of feathers and I'll make you a bunch of these.

Nobody's come through yet. Still looking for a few wood duck flank feathers if anybody has them.

Thanks!
