These bronze-tinged feathers come from the back of the mallard drake and are used for traditional salmon flies, dry fly wings, nymph legs, wing cases, tails. 3 lefts 3 rights in each package.
Matched pairs but small feathers, tips were not symmetrical. Bronze color on only a few of the barbs. Disappointed for sure.

Good quality
Quality is fine but, as usual, large feathers in matched pairs are rare. They will work for #8 and under salmon flies.

quality feathers for wet flies
These non-webby flank feathers are perfect for overwings, tailing and soft hackle on wet flies, and even nymph cases and legs on nymphs. Plenty of flies to tie with these if you're into reproducing the classics from Mary Orvis Marbury or Ray Bergman's book plates. They're equally useful for tying classic steelhead and salmon flies.
