New to your channel. The red quill is one of the classic Art Flick ties. You do very nicely. Cool orange head. Maybe brings him luck lol. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice Tye, John... I'll be tying a few of these. I seem to have all the materials needed. I hope Charlie stays around for some time to come. Great products more than fairly offered. All the best, John, Thank you!
Love these classic Catskill patterns - thanks for sharing! Two questions: about how long do you soak the body material and where do you typically find your wood duck feathers? 🎣
I stripped the fibers from four feathers and placed them all in a circular plastic fly cup. By the time I was ready to use one, it seemed to be long enough. None of the stems split. I'm lucky because I have friends who duck hunt. They occasionally give me ziplock bags of the feathers. I'm afraid I'm not much help for sourcing quality feathers.

Thanks for the kind words Greg. When I talked with Charlie last year as I placed an order, he thought he had enough supply for 3 to 4 years.
