Turkey Wang

[crackerdave]

I found a wing from a wild turkey in the dumpster - anybody want it? I'm not a tyer.

I'll take the primary flight feather(Biot Feather). Thats the front feather on the wing. The fibers are very stiff and are used in tying wings and tails on flies.

Learn something new every day. I got quite a few of those. Got an old VCR tape some where that was titled "tying w/ turkey biots" . Guess I never bothered to learn what "biot " exactly meant. Hey Im old & slow ,gimme a break

I have a bunch of pheasant tails, not sure if those are used.

Me too.

Pheasant Tails are one of the most used feathers for tying nymphs. Pheasant Tail Nymphs are a staple of most trout fly boxes.

First feathers on a birds wings.The outer edge is stiff and narrow. The very first one is the best but you can use the first two or three.

 

[crackerdave]

Got it! If you'll pm your mailing address,I'll send 'em on.
Should I pluck the whole feathers,or just cut 'em off with scissors?

Scissors are good. PM sent.
