Tony, Can you send me a photo of those two necks, please? I am curious, as I'm not familiar with a speckled cree. All of the cree I've seen is bar- cree (and the variants). I have many mottled and speckled capes, but none in the traditional cree colors. So I would really appreciate a look-see. Thanks, DonO

withHere is a story about my experience with hackles. I was on a trip to Maine and stopped in LL Bean. They had a bin of closeouts that the salesman was putting out. They were small necks @ 50 cents each. Having travel money I splurged. Picked out 50 necks figuring I could trade them for something. They were all natural necks. In the bunch there were some necks like I had not see before. There were mottled and speckled brown , black and cream . I I picked out 25 of those. I made a stop a fly shop in New Hampshire and was telling the owner about the necks. He wanted to see them. Then he made me an offer, he would trade the 9' 9 wt I was looking at for some of those necks. He took 20 of the 25 speckled necks and a couple of others. He is a commercial tyer and was going to use them for tying Adams dry flies. He wanted all of the speckled ones but I wanted to give a couple to my tying group. I kept five I will make this short. When I showed them to my tying buddy, he said, Those are Cree and offered me 10.00 each. I still have two of the necks and really hate to pluck any feathers off of of them. That is what happens when you are not educated on what you have. Tony

Bob, Don says the same. Ok, 2:1, maybe I loose <G>. I read the scan from the Herters book you sent me. There are 2 hackles mentioned, but no colors, only the type of rooster. Have to investigate Rene
