Default So where can I get a penguin skin?

Anyone use penguin feathers in their fly tying effort? Seems they
might float well.

Very perceptive. You must be a very serious tyer. It is expensive, and
difficult but not impossibe to obtain. The preferred variety is
Mierdadetoro, and you are right; it sure does float. You probably
already know that that green sheen can be licked off to allow the
really sophisticated tyer to experience the full fish catching
potential of this material. Good luck to you sir.
