I would like to join but as for knowing which feather is what I'm 
still not to sure?? . If there was a another tier near me that may 
want to go in on this and make it a learning experience that would be 
great. Other than that is the price with Christmas around the corner 
and 5 boys to buy for it gets a little expensive, quick question is 
there a book out there that tells about the different feathers and 
what they look like and there placement on the birds?? I know sounds 
like a dumb question but had to ask. As for time to do the plucking I 
work nights and have the whole house to myself all day long with no 
interruptions that is great to do things like tie and watch movies 
other than that I guess that's it for now.

Hi Patrick...

Since you are new to tying, I would suggest the Group 1 Saddles...you 
would get ample amounts of premium dry fly hackle in the most often 
used colors.

If you are more accustomed to tying wet flies and nymphs, you sure 
couldn't go wrong with the Brahma Hen Capes (group 9). They make 
great soft hackles!

keep tyin'...byard
