    Default Turkey Flatts Parachute

    Joe Billingsley mentioned, the other day, that he uses these feathers for the posts on parachutes.
    I thought I would try that in a Flav pattern. I agree that it makes a pretty good post material sort of in keeping with the correct color.................

    Very nice, Byron! I also like turkey flats for the wing on thorax-style mayfly duns. Easy to work with, even in small sizes.
    Good fishing,

    Nice tie, and excellent hook too. Is that the Gamakatsu S10?

    I have recently become partial to natural materials for posts. Either calf body hair, or turkey flats. I like the look more, thus gives me confidence.

    Nice tie Byron, that will send me to the vise.
