Alan: That's what I did (sorta), on the ones I have done to date. I take
strung hackle, which has pretty good sized quills, and is all different
colors, and I strip all the barbs off and use that. The chartreuse green
ones looked the best I thought. It's just a pretty slow process, but like
you say, it does work. Chuck

Chuck:
A couple of years ago I was in a swap and tied some Mosquitos.
I took a smallish grizzly hackle and pulled all the bards off both sides
and used it for a quill body.
CHEAP and functional.
Thank You,
Alan Di Somma

Subject: [VFB] Stripped quills needed
Folks: I need some stripped quills to tie some quill bodied
dry flies etc. But at $3.95 (and UP) for a pack of 24, they are a little
expensive. And one tiny whiff of bleach gives me the worst headaches I
have ever had. So, does anybody either have some they'd trade, or know a
place I can buy them for less than $3.95 per 24?? Thanks, Chuck
