Fly Materials Wood Duck Imitation Genuine wood duck feathers are beautiful and rare, so "imitations" are often used, such as this product, which dyes feathers from mallards and other birds to mimic the texture. They are mainly used for the wings, tails, and legs of dry flies that imitate mayflies. They are characterized by a unique fine striped pattern (barring) and a lemon or buff color (pale yellowish-brown). They are suitable for creating a lifelike movement in the water. Representative flies: They are very famous as wings for traditional dry flies such as "Quill Gordon" and "Hendrickson." They are also widely used for nymphs (aquatic insect larvae) and streamers (flies that imitate small fish). Thank you.
