So where can I get a penguin skin?
Anyone use penguin feathers in their fly tying effort? Seems they
might float well. Guy

The available ones are of the Meilda de Toro variety, and boy do they float. I am certain someone could sell you a gob or two of "bird fur" to try out but expect no discounts. By the way, some users swear that that green sheen is easy to lick off. Good luck. Dave

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. Dave
