Take the barbs off the feather and wrap them around the hook like you would pheasant tail barbs.  Also use  for wing cases or for tails.  Be sure to wash them and diinfect gthem some way.  You don't want to get bugs in your materials.   Rick     ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Alexander To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 7:23 PM Subject: [VFB] Feather ???? Folks: At the lake I fish at, there is a pair of big Canadian (I think that is what they are) Geese, and this yr they have four little goslings (sp). and there are some wood and mallard ducks too. Well, just now, when I was loading my boat.. I found about four wing feathers... The quill is much too big and stiff to wrap around and make the hackle with.. What else could I use big feathers like these for??? Thanks in advance, Chuck   No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
