Default Coq De Leon & Turkey Biot Quills
Anyone know where I can get Coq De Leon as I'm finding it impossible to source it? No-one seems to have it in stock that I've tried and I'm down to the last few fibres on the last feather so urgently need some to tie up some small nymphs and dries.

I'm also having difficulty finding Turkey Biot Quills so a source for them would also be useful. I've tried Flytek but have not heard anything back from them yet.

Thanks
Bert

Hi Bert, was in the Orvis shop in Exeter today and they had a few packets of two types of CDL feathers, dark and light mottled around £6/pk. Suggest giving them a call on Mon? From memory, Orvis also do turket biots, although did not notice them today. Alternative is Lakeland who used to stock quite a wide selection of colours.
Best of luck
Alex

Steve Parton's often worth a shout for cdl. I've bought turkey biots at Lathkill before now.

Pat Nolan in Nenagh has a few Whiting Dark CDL tailing packs in stock I think he's charging around €12.00, huge amount of feathers still on the skin.

You got a phone number for Pat, Seanie.

Still no joy on the Turkey Biot Quills either.
