Goose feathers

[scs]

Picked up a bunch of goose feathers over along the creek. Now I need some ideas of what to tie with them.
Any suggestions??

You might get a reply if you specified which feathers (quills? flank feathers?) off the goose that you're interested in.

Flank feathers. Sorry, new to fly tying and just looking for ideas.

To get you started, you can use them for wings on Catskill style dries (like you would use wood duck) or you could use them for flat winged streamers like Joe's Smelt:

Maybe somebody else has some suggestions?
