Hi FlyFusion folks! I'm in the YYC area, and lately we've had a ton of fresh snow, along with cold, cold temps. It's an odd combination. Maybe its tougher for the birds this year..? On the way back to the car one day, I noticed a few feathers on the snow.....nice tan colour, not a 'kill site' just a bunch ruffled off, near the trail. I tried to tie a couple in at home, but very waxy still. I'm not a bird hunter, so forgive me, but it's a light tan, has down, and really small dark brown 'hackle' patterns... would you keep the 3-7 feathers? Didn't hear any crow/magpie noise..not a person in sight while walking...( no dog friendliness either! ) I'm stumped..? Did an owlet fall? Was a nest being re-arranged? Duck, duck, duck? It's kinda cool to tie in some of these 30mm long feathers...no matter how waxy they are. -M.
