Thanks Scott , we can learn something new everyday. Jay , the look of the mottled soft hackle is what drew my attention to the Brahma hen feathers , very nice. Its like getting two types of feathers for one.

Doesn't Jim Slattery post here?

Check out Jimsflyco.com. If it's Whiting, he knows about it.

Hi Steven,

Right below his name, it displays in bold font, BANNED from BB. Unless that's some type of joke, that's why he doesn't post.

Great flies Donald. As far as Brahma hen, I have 3-4. I love them. They are beautiful, and very useful. I bought them for soft hackle flies.
