You have the opportunity to have any kind of feathers that you want - except for one: the genetic type. These very specialized birds are not available in free trade, and if you need dry fly saddles and necks in Hofmann's and Hebert quality, you'll probably have to buy them in a fly shop. As a Scandinavian fly tyer I have a very different need that no one seems to care much about: large hen feathers. Many Scandinavian and particularly Danish sea trout patterns call for large webby feathers. And along with the genetic capes and the teeny Chinese and Indian necks have come a dire need for good and large hen feathers.
