Coq de Leon Feathers

These feathers have fibres with a black and tan mottled appearance. There are 10 selected feathers in each pack.

Turkey Biot Quills
These quills make superb slim delicate bodies for nymphs and spent flies and are regularly used and highly recommended by Paul Proctor. Each packet contains a pair of dyed feathers. The individual biots are finer than those from goose feathers but can be used for tails and some other body parts. However when wound for the body a finely tapered well marked body is produced. The biots come in 4 natural colours to cover the main requirements to make general imitative patterns.

Stripped and Dyed Peacock Eye Herl
Stripped eye quills have a dark edge that when wrapped onto a hook shank gives a most attractive banded appearance. These quills are of the highest quality and require no pretreatment before use. There are 20 quills in each pack. They make excellent bodies for both nymphs and dry flies. The range of 10 different colours gives a range of alternatives to match most naturals. Jeremy Lucas advises to build up a body of light coloured thread to give the desired shape and coating the body with varnish before winding the quill to give additional strength to the body. I also varnish the body after tying for the same reason.
