Copper John

Hey tiers - was going to tie up some Copper Johns and discovered that I didn’t have any partridge feathers, any suggestions for a substitution?

any hen feather would work. or use some CDC for a different effect.

*Thanks - those I have.

Dry Rod…I have to tell you, I picked this idea up from another forum
CRYSTAL FLASH Seriously. It works.
I have been tying scud hook Pheasant Tails but Copper Johns will work I bet.

I picked up some Hungarian Partridge feathers today so I’m all set. Oh yes the pattern I have calls for Flashabou so I used Crystal flash instead.
