Fly tying and buying bird feathers?
I know a guy who obviously works with birds and I am thinking of negotiating for half a bird (feathers only). I would assume that the belly wouldn't be good for tying. What should I offer him for this in Canadian Dollars?
As a fly fisherman and fly tier my advice would be this, firstly what types of bird are we talking about here, some birds have their uses others have little to no use, pheasants can be useful for a number of things especially their capes, fly such as the PTN etc. Personally unless you have the facilities to clean and freeze the feathers they aren't worth it, you must treat the feathers fully to ensure all lice etc are gone, or they will end up ruining your other fly tying g materials, also the quality is an important issue.
