Deb: Thanks, that answers it.. You split the quill . That is what I wondered about, I have some Goose wing feathers that I picked up off the ground at the boat ramp the other day, Chuck

  Chuck
The biots are off the primary flight feathers on the wing. Typically we use goose or turkey biots in fly tying.
The quill is split and you get the biots from the side of the feather that cuts the wind when they fly.
There is probably a better way of explaining this but this is what you get after only one cup of coffee. :0)

Folks: I know somebody talked about biot the other day, but I can't remember exactly, Isn't it a long feather that has had the feathers cut off the short side??? or the quill has been split down the middle???..
