William,
They are very nice, and cheap you should try them.
Jim S. has them, I bought three from him.

I did see this hackle for the first time on the wingless wet forum. Got mine from:

I have a couple of these necks, and they're great. I believe Mike at Greatfeathers has them as well.
Ruard- nice olive pattern. I really like the implied action the hook lends to the fly,

Lovely fly, Ruard. I have one of a couple of those hen skins (different color though) from Great Feathers. Beautiful feathers.
