Re: Emu Feathers
I strip one side of the feather and use them in wooly buggers as the hackle.
I've used the tips for the wing of adult dragon flies.
I like tying with emu.
You can also wrap a hook with them and clip it to form the case of a cased caddis.
It's just cool stuff!!!!

" Fishermen, hunters, wood choppers, and others,
spending their lives in the fields and woods,
in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves,
are often in a more favorable mood for observing her,
in the intervals of their pursuits,
than philosophers or poets even,
who approach her with expectation."
Henry David Thoreau
