I better go to my fly shop and purchase some CDL (medium pardo). The fish want what the fish want.

Thank you Hans.

Wayne,

The Whiting Farms Coq de Leon hen necks are one of the 'steals' in present day materials. I use in on a raft of patterns. Get one and see for yourself.

If your local shop cannot provide, there is always Jim S...

Cheers,

Whiting Farms is 37 miles from my door step. I will probably still end up getting my feathers from Jim S. He has filled my orders on my past two purchases faster, and more economical than my local fly shop. That being said, I still give the locals first crack.

I thought Brahma was the best steal (deal)

Again, thanks Hans

Brahma is a very good runner up

CdL is also my favourite feather, use for a lot of flies, bothe for trout, searun broun trout and rainbow. I´ve invested in a lot of Whiting CdL, they came out with some nice colours recently.

Got it love it.

I meant to say, I received my CDL feathers. Great tailing material. Now I see first hand what all the hub bub has been about these feathers.

That was sparse, very sparse. Like it. Very much.
