Hi All,

Thanks for the good advise that has been posted so far. Being in the panhandle of Texas, and growing up in western Kansas, we have no shortage of pheasants. I have quite a few tail feathers, some from some I have shot, and others that have been given to me. In fact, I was helping a friend move on Monday, and he gave me a tail. So, I would rather dye what I have on hand than buy more.

I have been dying feathers and fur for a few years, but didn't know about the colors used in the dyed nymphs, and how well they would dye. In the past I have primarily used Rit and Koolaid, but Easter egg dye should be on sale at Wal Mart in a day, and it may be a good time to pick some up and try it too.

Hope others have more advise for all of us.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks and regards,

Gandolf
