I'll give the feathers themselves 5 stars, which are great high quality feathers with long, stiff fibers that make excellent tails on dry flies and Euro nymphs... However, the reason for a 3 star rating, is that the color marked on the package is not necessarily the color of feathers you'll get... I ordered the dark pardo CDL feathers expecting to get dark grey feathers with black speckling. What I got was a package of dark brown furnace feathers (dark brown with a black stem/core) with zero speckling that resemble spade feathers from a dark brown furnace dry fly neck. I didn't return the feathers because I'll use them, but they were not what I was expecting to get. A better color chart, pictures and an explaination of color choice names would be nice to have for future orders. I do recomend these feathers as they are excellent and high quality, but be warned of color variances.
I have used many other natural feathers for the tails of my nymphs. I ordered the Coq de Leon and was amazed at the strength and ease of use. Will be loading up on the other colors soon.
These are very nice feathers. It seems like a lot, but for using as tails on flies you can get quite a few flies per feather. This material looks really good as tails and nice and stiff for dry flies.
