![]() Trying to locate some exceptional peacock herl with long barbules. Saw some on display at the Southern Conclave several years ago but it was not for sale. I have herl from Feather-Craft and Orvis (which are good) but hopefully there is some higher quality stuff out there. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Guy |

Thanks Tim,
I do have and have used ostrich in place of peacock. It is similar to the effect I am after. Just wanted the color associated with peacock. Thanks for the idea. Guy "Tim J." wrote in message ...

Thanks Tim, I do have and have used ostrich in place of peacock. It is similar to the effect I am after. Just wanted the color associated with peacock. Thanks for the idea. Gotcha. The qualities of the two feathers are vastly different. Here's another thought, and one I've used for fly collars befo wrap one or two peacock herls together with one ostrich herl. It gives the luster of the peacock with the length of the ostrich. -- TL, Tim ------------------------- http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

The quality of the two feathers are very different. Here's another idea, one that I have spent a fly collar befo package together with one or two peacocks herls an ostrich herl. It makes a shiny peacock, ostrich length.
