Anyone got a source for Yanosh Feathers, they are from the Bali Duck, and are used for tying the Jess Wood Streamer Pattern.
I have found duck farmers who have Bali ducks, but they are all domestic (white feathered)

Try some of the Duck Hunter Forums , some of those guys may be able to help you. :D
I believe the Bali is a domesticated duck.
You'll have better luck finding one with a farmer rather than a hunter....
It's generally easier to shoot farm ducks. They don't fly away. Just have to keep an eye out for the farmer. They tend frown on people gunning down their livestock.

Good luck in your search.

Angler's Workshop carries a lot of odd feathers, but I don't recall them having this one. You might check. Also, you can buy virtually any exotic duck from breeders in the US. Just google it and start digging. Of course, if you live in a third-floor walkup, this could be a little messy...
The last time I saw these feathers in a catalog it was in Herters!

I know you can get some at the Cabela's in Hamburg, Pa.
You'll have to break into the glass case by the checkouts and take them off mounted birds, but they definitely have Bali Ducks there.
:eek:
