anyone know of a good source for dyed goose or duck quills? I've been getting more into traditional wet flies of late, and need a good supply of quills, and all I can seem to find are the natural gray ones.

On a time crunch and armed with the foreknowledge that your carefully crafted quill wings will be ruined after a few good drifts, the craft shop.

Want decent stuff for pretty flies? What he said.
 
Search online for "bulk feathers" you can find several sources for dyed turkey and duck quills. If all you can get is white, then dye yourself-it's EASY! I dye all the time. A LB of quills will last a lifetime.
 
Continuation from my last post....a 1lb box of tom turkey dyed rounds is about $50.00 and you get about 250 feathers. Sell what you don't use on ebay.
