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.

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.
