Duck feathers?
Well it might be shameless to post this question but I figured it's at least worth asking.
Is anyone willing to save the flank feathers off drake wood ducks and teal and trade them for flies? If you are interested I'll be glad to trade flies for them, either for trout or bass/panfish. It's as simple as plucking the flank feathers under the wings and mailing them. These feathers are highly prized by fly tyers and it's a shame to just throw them away. Most guys use dyed mallard but it is a sad subsitute for the real thing. This ain't a money making thing, just sharing amongst friends. If anyone is interested please just PM me. Thanks

Thanks fellas for the offers and remembering me.
On a side note, I save all my turkey tail fans and wings each season. I've provided quite a number of fly tyers from around the southeast with a free batch of turkey feathers and when I have them, duck feathers as well. Any contributions would just be passed along in this manner. Call it a mini-ministry of goodwill or just a positive act by sportsmen to sportsmen but it's been a good thing. I figured a further explanation was due. Thanks again!

Duck,
Thanks much for the feathers friend. I separated the fluff out, sorted them and then sent them on to two other friends. One is a new friend who lives in Niagara Falls, NY. He said he had been asking his duck hunting pals for woodie flank for years to no avail. He sent some flies and spinners and they must have passed the feathers in shipping. When I recieved them I was concerned he would be disappointed with the amount of feathers he got versus the flies/spinners he made. I found out I was completely wrong when I asked him, he's plenty tickled. I'll call you when I'm up your way again and fix you up with the stuff he sent. We'll make a trip when it gets a little warmer but you'll have to bring nwiles too. I'll play guide for you fellas and tie knots .

Spurhunter,
You are very welcome my friend. You can bet there will be many more next year, now that I know... I'm glad your friend in N.Y. was tickled, hopefully we can keep him stocked up with feathers. Guide??? I promise you'll be tired of tying knots for me as many times as I hang'im in the brush.  And I'm sure NWiles wouldn't miss that trip.Give me a hollar anytime....
