Default Quail feathers.

Sorry if I've already sen this !! Think I might not have pressed the send button.
I keep a few quail and wondered if anyone uses quail feathers. I know American quail are used for some soft hackled flies. So if any one has any ideas or would like feathers or skins give me a shout.
Regards John

Default Quail for soft hackles

I'm sure quail will be great for soft spiders and the like, I use Partridge, Grouse, Ptarmigan with success and I bet Phil Holding can come up with a
Quail and xxxx dressing for a spider.

I have so much soft hackle that I don't need any more, I know that's right because the wife told me!, but I'm sure someone would like it, use it, love it,

Cheers
