Got 4 beautiful well marked drakes yesterday

Any ideas what flies incorporate these feathers???

Thanks

You could use them as a smoky sort of teal sub or some of the browner flank feather could just about get away with a sort of Egyptian goose sub I suppose. Of course, you could dye them and use then on mayflies, olives etc as well. Let that imagination of yours off the leash Peter.

I was hoping you would come up with the ideas Alex and I will just copy em

Wigeon 'barred' flank feathers make better teal series sea trout flies than genuine teal.
Some dressers say the Peter Ross is an exception. Anyway; quite a few quid saved.
