Lemon Wood Duck Feathers

[sroach]

Where on a wood duck would you find lemon feathers?

Drake (male) Wood Duck Flank feathers

 

[sroach]

Thanks Afish,

If I have a duck hunter willing to send me feathers, I want the flank?

 

[outsider]

You want the flank. And if he harvests Mallard Drakes, ask for the flank feathers. Some of the flank feathers on a Mallard Drake are light-medium brown with black barring. They are known as Bronze Mallard, make great tails on flies such as a March Brown nymph.

Thank you Outsider
