first batch of feathers this year

Haven't been able to hunt the last few years and a bunch of folks send me the feathers as they don't want them to go to waste. Got the first batch this year. Lemon barred, barred wood duck and gadwall

The mallard flank feathers were cleaned and stayed soaking. I just got 3 new dyes - Blue Dunn, Slate Dunn and Olive.

Slate Dunn - did some mallard flank and a piece of arctic fox tail which ended up breaking in half. The Slate Dunn is darker than the Blue Dunn

Sweet! Happy tying.

Hey,
Great looking mallard flank feathers. Those should tie some very nice soft hackle flies and/or fly pjs!!

Wow! That Artic Fox must have been visiting in the lower 48 for them to get him while out duck hunting;) Nice looking feathers, should make some very nice streamers for you.

Nicely done just in time for tying season!
