Nice looking pattern

What company do you buy your hackels and ostrich from? I've been having a hard time finding good one of either of those

It varies a lot, depends on who has the best material at the time. Your best bet is to either stop by your local fly shop or if you don’t have a local one give us a call and we can send pictures of what we have and you can pick.

Google feather merchant, you will find what you are looking for at a fraction of the cost.
I bought 100 white ostrich drabs (feathers) 16 to 18 inches long. Got them for .87 cents ea, including shipping!!
They dye really well and and you will have enough ostrich to tie as many hollows that your heart can stand!!😂😂😂😂
