i am tying some stayner ducktails from a recipe on here (http://flyanglersonline.com/features/lakes/part12.php (see i do use the archive) that calls for mallard flank as the wing.

i have 2 bags of mallard flank that ive emptied out trying to find good usable feathers.

is there a primo mallard flank supplier out there? i know we can buy primo wood duck but how about mallard flank??

do professional fly tyers get the cream of the crop and the masses are handed whats left?
