Do you have a photo of the eider duck hackles? Would be hard to tell the
stiffness factor from a photo, but I could compare it to the feathers in my
box.

Subject: [VFB] Spey feathers now eider duck
Just curious, has anyone tried eider duck feathers for speys and dees (as
hackle)? I was gifted two feathers many years ago and i don't know if
legal or if they'd serve the purpose... my friend who gave me them said
they are like a cross between coque and blue eared pheasant, only longer
fibered,
