Can someone recommend a source for Pardo feathers in the US? I understand they are a particular chicken, from Spain, but the feathers have a very unique mottled look.

Hi Paul,
Other than getting these feathers from Spain, I believe the guys name is Paco Seroia(sp), Whiting has been raising them. This guy carries the necks, saddles and tailing packs: [url=http://www.flytyervariant.com:19ca2]www.flytyervariant.com[/url:19ca2]
usual disclaimer applies.

Paul,
I bought the last they had at my local fly shop, but the owner assures me he can get more.
That would lead me to believe that someplace out there is a catalog that carries them...
Fantastic feathers for tails on dries.
Let us all know if you find a reliable source.
Thanks,
Buddy

I'd encourage you try some of Paco Soria's Coq de Leon. You can read about the various colors (Pardo is one of several) at: [url=http://www.flytyingworld.com/PagesP/ps-coqdeleon.htm:d8779]http://www.flytyingworld.com/PagesP/ps-coqdeleon.htm[/url:d8779]
You can order Paco's feathers here in the US from Ed Gallop: [url=http://www.flytyingworld.com/angling/index.html:d8779]http://www.flytyingworld.com/angling/index.html[/url:d8779] You'll find them listed in the section for feathers.
I have Paco's feathers, they are the best I've seen. Whiting Farms grows them also> It's what they use for their tailing packs. Great stuff , but I would have to give the nod to Paco though.

Fifty cents a feather just for tailing material? Amazing.

whatfly, sounds like a bargin to me! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif After looking at some of the junk I have purchased, this might work out to be a good deal....
Have you seen the price of sili skin? The way I lose streamers, that will be one expensive lure to tie!

I answered a specific question about the availability of Pardo Coq de Leon because it was asked. One can do quite well for a lifetime of tailing material by buying a 4" wide paint brush if economy is the goal.
