Grown near a duck's oil glands, Cul de Canard carries natural oils that keep it floating without added floatant, on dry flies and emergers that need to sit in or on the surface film.
Specifications
Pack Quantity: approximately 50 feathers per pack
Source: Grown near a duck's oil glands, naturally saturated with oil
Best for: dries and emergers needing buoyancy straight from the material, without reaching for floatant.
A pack runs approximately 50 feathers, enough to cover wing, body, and hackle jobs across a run of flies without restocking mid-session.

Work well for wets and nymphs such as the Duracell
I tie a lot of soft hackles and nymphs like the Duracell, and these CDC work well. I don't tie them the convention way using clamps and dubbing loops. I tie them in as I would any soft hackle feather - tied in at the tip, folded, then wrapped 2 or 3 turns.

Sparse but work
Great color, but often you’ll need more than one feather as they’re a bit sparse. Good for the price.

Useable
Good color, not super dense feathers though.This will work if you double up feathers, but spending a bit more for premium CDC is a good call if you’re tying lots of these style flies.
