I found a few packages of pre-stripped and dyed hackle quills at a fly shop once and bought a pack. I tied up some size A.K. Best style 16 PMD parachutes with them for a fly swap, and I had 4 left. I fished them yesterday and they were great. floated like corks, and during the PMD hatch the fish absolutly approaved of them too.

So heres the question. Does anyone know where to get pre-stripped and dyed hackle quills?

I have A.K.'s book on stripping and dying tying supplies (which is great by the way), but I haven't had much luck finding suitable hackle. Plus I am lazy and wouldn't mind buying some until I have time to mess with stripping and dying my own.

Thanks in advance.
