FLYMPH FORUM

Ruard, you are most welcome. I do not mind sharing with those that put materials to good use.
You have "the book" of NZ patterns, you can see the Pukeko is usually used as a flat top wing in the likes of the Craigs Night Time and Scotch Poacher Lures, but I do use the neck feathers especially for wound shoulder hackles.
The feathers you have will be from the breast of the bird and quite a bit larger. That is a good way to use them though.

Ruard, Howdy;

Thanks for the answer.
My mind has been turning over the 'how' when you
made the hackle. Very good thinking you did .

Ruard, this is such a cool series. Right down to the Rudd and the rod. Just fantastic.

Thank you all for the nice words. I think it was 5 years back that I caught such a beautiful Rudd.

Greeting
