FFGene Mallard chest feathers

FFGene Mallard chest feathers are loose chest feathers from the Mallard, intended for classic fly patterns, particularly mayfly imitations. Their soft, delicate fibres form natural-looking wings and also work well for tails, soft hackles and streamer cheeks. The loose-feather format makes it easy to select an individual feather with the required width and outline for the pattern. Use a burning tool or cutter to shape a precise wing profile or another fly detail. Select each feather according to the fly size and the tying role of the material. The package contains approximately 2 g of material.
