I am not a fly fisherman , but it is on my bucket list of things to do. Anyway I can not help but admire the feather patterns on the Mearns quail and thought I would throw this out there. If there are members that make their own flies I would be happy to throw some of these unique feathers in an envelope and send them to you if you believe you could use them. I always admire the feathers on the Roosters and especially late in the season the feathers are very nice.
Merry Christmas,
Phil
