Peacock herl

[mayflyjunky]

Hi Guys,

Would anyone know where I can get good quality, well marked, peacock herl??

The stuff I have seems rather bland and not well marked, for example the dark edge seems rather dull.

Is there a certain age of bird I should be looking for to get the best well marked herl??

Cheers

PM me you address and i'll stick a few in the post.
