I highly recommend that you contact Denny at Conranch Hackle and tell him what you are going to use the hackle for and let him come up with what you need. He is very easy to talk to and he will treat you right and is honest. You can contact him through a PM on FAOL and he goes by "Denny" on here. He has a lot of his time invested in breeding good hackle and I know that you can purchase other hackle at less cost than his, but, the ease of using his hackle is at the top of the list of quality. The hackle stems are perfect and they palmer so easily. After using his hackle and comparing it to others, you will notice the difference immediately. I think you will fine that there is very little difference in price when you compare good quality hackle and the extra couple bucks for Denny's hackle is well worth it. I spent many years tying with other hackle and thought all hackle would "fight" you when using them until I tried Denny's hackle and what a joy it was to use it.
Send a PM to Denny and talk to him. I think you will be pleased with the conversation and once you try his hackle you will be impressed.
Just my recommendation and nothing more.....

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
